Highlights

Don't Call it a War

Russia refused to call its invasion of Ukraine a war, instead terming it a 'special military operation.' Similarly, Trump and Republicans are calling the bombing of Iran and assassination of its head of state 'strategic strikes' or 'major combat operations' rather than a war, echoing Putin's tactics.

It Was a Preemptive Strike

Putin claimed his attack on Ukraine was a preemptive strike, despite no evidence of an imminent threat. Trump and his administration made similar claims about Iran, stating their actions were to eliminate 'imminent threats,' even though US intelligence did not support this assertion.

Bombing of Schools and Hospitals

The international community condemned Russia for bombing schools and hospitals in Ukraine. The video highlights that the US and Israel also bombed a school and a hospital in Iran, causing mass casualties and forcing evacuations. The speaker references Hillary Clinton’s past statement about Russia committing war crimes by bombing hospitals, applying the same criticism to the US actions.

Putinizing the Attack on Iran

Further parallels include claims of fighting terrorists and bringing freedom, both used by Putin in Ukraine and now by Trump regarding Iran. The video urges an end to these lies and the 'Putinization' of the illegal attack on Iran.
