The fat Russian “general” Pavel, who wasnt

Re this thread
www.abovetopsecret.com...
I read it, noted the story, went along with my life but
The general doesn’t have a proper uniform, no distinguishing embroidery, no markings or medals, no other military around, just a hat and cam
How did I miss that, why?
Did I just trust the information?
Turns out, just a retired boarder guard, not even a boarder from Afghanistan

ukraineuncensored.quora.com... “Our '67-year old general Pavel' turns out to be the 58-year old Ivan Ivanovich Turchin, veteran of both the Russian military and the Border Guard. He retired in 2011, after 20 years of service at the border in Uzbekistan.”

So, silly me for trusting the media and their lies
And in hindsight, it’s obvious it’s a lie from the msm
Don’t you think?

The image in the thread "Russia bringing out the big old guns, massive deployment in eastern Ukraine" looks distorted.

The image of the supposed general looks edited slightly.

re: This thread you are 2 weeks too late...

FWIW from later in the thread, it was already debunked exactly 39 minutes later (It's 15 posts down from the OP)
by the original poster no less, who is notorious for his false propaganda, I think we should ban him honestly

FWIW this could be complete satire, I can't find any reference to this in Russian news?

]So fat that he needs two sets of bulletproof vests
In the case of the 67-year-old general, the situation is downright grotesque. Paul was indeed a soldier and commander of the Russian special forces, having a long career, but that was 25 years ago! However, it seems that he was activated once again 5 years ago, when he was sent to Syria.

The officer is so fat that he has to wear a special uniform and wears two sets of bulletproof vests to cover the circumference of his body.

Apparently he needs five meals a day, which he drinks with at least a liter of vodka.

Yet many of the people who helped spread this propaganda will never acknowledge they were mislead. They just move on to the next Russian war crime or dead Russian general story and begin the process all over again.

Ummm…I completely agree…

Perhaps he has enough integrity to…ban himself…?

What say you…?

I agree with you however we are just 2 against thousands of my followers here on ATS, I'm sure they would be heartbroken. People have so little nowadays do we dare mess with one of their insignificant joys?

but mostly because I had withdrawal symptoms when ATS went down for a weekend

This is fat erasure. Just because he's fat doesn't mean he can't be a general.

Yeah, you guys are right. There isn't anything the slightest bit odd about some of Putin's generals.



Hope this guy recovered his makeup kit from those awful Ukrainians.
