America planned the war and the energy crissis in Europe. (14)

Fact-check:

On September 13, the Swedish outlet Nya Dagbladet ("The New Daily Post"), also known for promoting anti-vax misinformation, published an allegedly leaked document from the U.S.-based think tank RAND. The report claims that the U.S. planned the war in Ukraine and the subsequent energy crisis to weaken Germany and divide Europe. By fielding an aggressive U.S. foreign policy in Ukraine, Russia would have no choice but to invade. The invasion would lead to many sanctions against Russia and shut down the gas supplies with the help of Green party politicians, which would shatter the EU economy and strengthen the U.S. by more money flowing to the U.S. and educated young germans moving to the U.S. for better prospects. The report was supposedly published on January 25, 2022, a month before Russia invaded Ukraine.

RAND refuted the article as a fake on September 14, saying they'd published no such report. Nya Dagbladet published an English version of their article on September 15, including the statement from RAND, claiming that RAND had not pointed to anywhere specific in the document that proves it's a fake.

On September 19, Leadstories published a fact check about the report, and Facebook labelled the report as false information. Nya Dagbladet responded by criticizing the fact check for only referring to an email from Rand corporation and not addressing why the report is false.

Most journalists at most media organizations verify their information first and then publish the facts. In this case, it was in reverse: Nya Dagbladet admitted they could not verify the facts, and then when presented with evidence they were wrong, asked their critics to verify the facts for them.

Issues with the alleged report
Nya Dagbladet links to the PDF document they refer to, revealing six printed pages making up the executive summary of the alleged report. However, the report has issues that show it to be patently false, including factual, grammatical, formatting and spelling errors.

Logically has compared the report to RAND's public reports, and several discrepancies are suspicious. They don't name their author, the report does not have a title, and the formatting, font, and design don't match RAND's other published reports.

The cover page of the report claims it was distributed to several U.S. government and political bodies, including the White House Chief of Staff and the Democratic National Convention. The report itself expresses political preference that the Democrats retain control of Congress and the White House. However, Rand is non-partisan, and expressing explicit political preferences even in confidential reports would likely endanger their funding or client relationships, as many of the offices listed employ people from both major parties. RAND discloses all of their clients on their funding page, and the White House, CIA and NSA are not among them.

The second page displays copyright information about RAND, Research Integrity, and Limited Print and electronic distribution rights. These three sections are identical to RAND's public reports, but one line stands out: "Unauthorized posting of this publication online is prohibited; linking directly to its web page on rand.org is encouraged." A confidential report would not have a publically accessible URL. Nor would it have a rights page that describes how it can be published or distributed.

The rights page contains an incomplete URL: "For more information about this publication, visit Other public reports from RAND contain a complete and specific URL at this point, indicating that this was likely copied and pasted and then edited out.

The other factual inaccuracies provide strong evidence that the report was not written by a U.S. think tank:

It claimed that the U.S. economy was affected by the "2020 and 2021 COVID lockdowns. There were no national-level lockdowns in the U.S. as coronavirus mitigation.

i can't say america planned the war or energy crisis they helped feed across the globe.

i can say the current regime and cronies are the fault of it all and more.

o'biden continues to kill u.s. economy for citizens and country.



it is their policies and lack of backbone that things are as bad as they are now and probably going to get worse.

afghanistan was the signal that a "minor infraction" would be okay in ukraine for russia. they want the iran deal to resume which strengthens them. n. korea is still working on icbm's. china is getting bolder and more threatening too. maybe we'd better hope there's truth to a potential coup taking place against china's current "leader".

killing our energy independence helped feed russia and other countries. it also helped cut the throats of the u.s. and citizens. the elites won't suffer like, how, and what the people do. they can live above it at the least. the sanctions were needed to make even more people suffer. with winter coming it's only going to get worse. for the u.s., almost everything has gotten worse if it's against the constitution, country, and citizens.

i think with out doubt, the current criminals in charge have most certainly had a plan to undermine the u.s. in all ways; but still keep their 10% and own pockets lined.

Without a doubt the stupidest post you have made yet. I think you are getting dumber and dumber as time goes on. Try to use a legitimate source for your 'facts'. Garbage in - garbage out!

Wow. A complete sentence without errors.
Nice work Ray.
Now let's work on putting two sentences together that make sense.
See ya!
