The Fake BBC News Report That Predicts WW3

In 2018, a fake BBC News Report was circulated on social media, reporting a Russian invasion of Eastern Europe, culminating in a nuclear attack on NATO.

In this video, you'll see that fake report in full, followed by a summary discussing possible motives and origins of this video.

Was this video a piece of predictive-programming, a psy-op made and released years before Russia's real-world invasion of Ukraine, to mentally prepare us for an eventual war with Russia?

Watch and decide. If you have any questions or requests, please leave a comment. Thank you.
