    | Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine

    It was Feb 22. I remember it on the 22nd and so does Russia. Why does the western media keep saying the 24th over and over again. Repeat a lie or mistake often enough and everyone believes it?? The date may not seem important, but it’s a fine example of how people copy each other

        Russia said the 22nd and I remember the date, too. Not sure why the date matters, but for some reason, I think it might. OH! I think it has something to do with an anniversary of some sort - maybe something to do with an event in Donbass. Perhaps it was the 23 there and 22 here - half a world apart, so 12+ hours apart?

            that may be it. thanks for clarifying that. but, that is almost the same as officially entering a war - an announcement of it. There are Russian channels I follow (one is RT) and I sometimes still hear the 22nd as the date on those videos. I suppose it is a petty point when thousands are dying and millions no longer have a country…and WW3 could break out.
