Funny that the Intercept article doesn't identify any of the "pseudo-leftists" who are supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Instead, it seems aimed at leftists who question US policy on NATO and believe NATO's unrelenting expansion contributed to the war. "Tankies"? 😂

For the Post to say @YeonmiParkNK 's stories "don't add up" is to gaslight the vicious lies and twisted falsifications of this Queen of Mendacity and the vast NED-financed industry behind her. Americans will believe absolutely anything about North Korea.

A North Korean defector captivated U.S. media. Some question her story.

Yeonmi Park, a North Korean defector, has become an "anti-woke" star in American conservative media. But critics say her life story doesn't add up.
