A story is spreading across social media that Trump has dismissed 12 generals for refusing a ground invasion of Iran.

If true, this would be headlines on all major news sites in the U.S., but it is not.

The graphic fueling the story (picture 1) was first shared by TechTimes, which is a Facebook page with a million followers.

The Facebook page claims to be sharing gadget news, but is somehow filling a million people's feeds with false stories about politics.

It's hard to imagine a more pro-Russian US president.

As shown, the story has been shared widely on Threads, Bluesky, and X.

The story was shared as breaking news as early as April 3, and often uses the same graphics design while claiming to be from different sources.

This design appears in many pro-kremlin fake news sites, and I suspect Putin's regime is behind it.
