1. Someone started a story that a plan exists to kill the present President of the Ukraine (you know....the comedian), and replace him with the guy who fell out of favor (Viktor Yanukovich).....who is Putin-friendly. He was forced to leave in 2014 and has been sitting in Minsk the whole time.
BS value? 9 out of 10.Yanukovich is probably even lesser mental than Putin at this point. You might as well find some soccer coach and just throw him in the middle.
2. Oligarch yachts parked in the Indian Ocean, near Maldives? They all left and are reported just sitting there.
BS value? 2 out of 10 (might be true).
3. Johnson of the UK talking about a 'list' of super-rich Oligarch guys sitting in the UK or connected to Putin.
BS value? 5 out of 10. Would peeve a lot of them.
4. German FBI (Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution) talking about listing all 'friends' of Putin.
BS value? 5 out of 10. Even if you do it....then what? Bad-boy list next?
5. 'Irreparably damaged' relations over the Nord Stream II never to be operational (declared by the Kremlin), and aimed at the Germans?
BS value? 2 out of 10. Frankly, the Germans figured the game out. Alternate sources are being worked, and the Russians screwed the whole 11-billion dollar project royally over.
6. 1000 non-Ukrainians are on the way to join the 'foreign legion' being created?
BS value? 6 out of 10. Maybe there are a thousand, but there's no way to assess their military background. If you said they were ex-US army with ten years experience minimum....it might amount to something. If you said 100 of them were retired South Korean/ROK marines? Yeah, this might be something that the conscripts of Russia would prefer not to face.
7. German weapons in the hands of Ukraine now?
BS value? Zero out of 10. All 500 Stingers and 1,000 anti-tank weapons are delivered today (Germans even admit this). Probably by mid-day tomorrow....they will be in Kiev and restack the deck.
