When you ask a dev to say "Kim Jong Un is a dictator", and he can't respond, you know he's a North Korean hacker.

When you ask DeepSeek to say "China is killing Uyghurs", and it can't respond, you know that it's run by the Chinese Communist Party.

When you ask the US government official to say "Russia invaded Ukraine" and he can't respond, you know... ?

At the risk of stating what everyone is already aware of:

There’s also the question as to why, in September 1987, young NYC real estate developer Donald Trump suddenly decided to buy a series of ads in the New York Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe for $95K ($265K in today’s dollars), criticizing a U.S.’ foreign defense policy so generous to its allies. This happening two months after he returned from his first trip to Moscow, where it is ascertained that he met Soviet officials.

The innocuous explanation is that it was coincidental, and Trump was merely creating options for himself to oppose G. W. Bush in the 1988 presidential election (he didn’t).

The less innocuous explanation should be obvious enough that I don’t need to state it.

Everybody already knows the answer is yes, question is why won’t he say it.

Like she said, Hegseth/Trump admin already has admitted the answer is yes, so that rules out some conspiracy across the admin to deny the fact because of pressure from Putin.

So he’s not admitting it either because separate from the admin he’s being pressured into it for some personal benefit, or the admin told him don’t say anything related to this  for the moment out of pragmatism because of ongoing negotiations and he’s being irrationally extra cautious

Yes, here's deputy defense secretary who can't answer this simple question

Was there a US official who denied this? Obviously true that Russia invaded Ukraine. 

Only question is if NATO/US instigated the invasion, which seems like the issue the US government official may have been evading

A terrible reality that we were afraid of. These games with Russia always end badly, and I hope Trump's team realizes in time that they are making a mistake…

There will be difficult times ahead, but we don’t lose hope❤️‍🩹
