Wow. Ukrainian blogger/filmmaker on what the "Polish incursions in Belarus" garbage could be about

I posted earlier today about Mike Flynn's aides apparently trying to create a story about nonexistent Polish incursions in Belarus:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028594421


Just ran across these tweets from Ukrainian author/blogger/filmmaker Thomas Theiner:




There NEVER were "Polish incursions in #Belarus". Only on obscure Russian neo-nazi conspiracy blogs can one find such bullshit. #FlynnFacts?






a) Either the @WhiteHouse staff reads #Russia|n neo-#nazi blogs or b) #Putin told this BS to #Trump in their call & White House swallowed it



Linked tweets starting with this:




#Poland is the only #EU country with a strong army & the only one capable to defeat a #Russia|n invasion of #Estonia #Latvia #Lithuania 1/4

BUT #Poland can only send its army into the Baltics if #Belarus doesn't allow #Russia|n troops to attack Poland from its territory. 2/4

So a #Russia|n lie about nonexistent "#Polish incursions in #Belarus" might be the first sign of a new #Russian propaganda drive to 3/4

justify the upcoming #Russia-#Belarus exercise "Zapad 17", which will train attacking #Poland, invading the #Baltics & nuking #Warsaw. 4/4


Then, in replies to the thread above and to someone asking "Nuking Warsaw?":

Putin had this nuclear attack on Warsaw trained that already twice.

Putin also had a a few training flights to train for nuking Stockholm.



I'm not familiar with Theiner, did some quick googling, saw him quoted in this Newsweek story on Ukraine two years ago:

this is the directive for this week's outrage to cover other worse plans in the works. There had better be an extra listening device on that Oval Office phone line that can't be turned on/off by the WH staff.

During their phone call which, conveniently was not recorded. He may only have had to drop a hint for flynn and minions to get all excited and start looking for a nonexistent conspiracy.
