I've seen Russian propagandists contort themselves into pretzels, but this really takes the cake. Former military spy on state TV claimed that Americans are responsible for the genocide of Russians, because they're arming Ukrainians in order to exterminate the Russian genotype.

A specific black ops creation of Lauwers was the “League of Lonely War Women” (Verein Einsamer Kriegerfrauen) which sought to undermine Axis morale & demoralize German soldiers that their wives or girlfriends were unfaithful. #OSS #WW2 (3/4)

Lauwers received the Bronze Star when another propaganda operation led to the surrender of 600 Czechoslovak troops who had been forced into service by the Germans. She survived the war and died August 16, 2009 at age 95. #OSS #WW2 (4/4) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbar…
