Video Notes:
Discovered a serious falsehood in the Wikipedia entry "Nuclear weapons and Ukraine". It claims that, "in the wake of the Russian invasion" Ukrainian president Zelensky suggested that his country might reverse policy and pursue nuclear weapons. This order of events is wrong.
The invasion of Ukraine began on Feb 24th, and the Munich Security Conference, where #Zelensky made his comment, took place from Feb 18th-20th. Wikipedia's own citation--("Ukraine may reconsider its nuclear status", see below)--is an article dated the 19th!
So #Zelensky's comments did not come "in the wake" of Russia's invasion, but rather were made prior to it.
Wikipedia's falsehood is important, because it allows/encourages the reader to form a narrative that is detrimental to Russia, and helpful to 'western' forces (US, NATO etc), which is that Zelensky was raising the spectre of a nuclear armed Ukraine out of reaction to Putin's invasion--which of course hadn't happened yet.
Many have speculated that Putin was reacting to Zelensky's comments when he decided to invade. This narrative is consistent with the facts.
Sneaky but not so subtle the way that the lie is inserted into the sentence in brackets. Narrative management.
