The more I think about it, the more I think the idea that the Daily Star, of all papers, would get a scoop on the beginning of a war between Russia and Ukraine was released as something of a psyop. It was released to them not because it’s not true, but MI5 or MI6 didn’t feel like sticking its neck out on something it could not absolutely prove.
So, it arranged to release what it did know to one of the least credible news sources in Great Britain, knowing that Americans wouldn’t know how dubious the source was and would just hear, “Russia to attack on Dec. 24th.” That way, if the attack DIDN’T come, then, it’s a lulz.
But if it did happen, then everyone would be so busy being aghast at what we were seeing on our TV screens to think about where we first heard that it might actually happen.
I still am very dubious about there being any war at all, but we’ll see I guess.
