Fake Tanks and Passports

MPs in Kiev hoodwinked a US senator [James Inhofe], presenting his office with photos of columns of Russian military hardware allegedly roaming Ukrainian territory. The photos turned out to have been taken during the conflict in South Ossetia back in 2008.

“I was furious to learn one of the photos provided now appears to be falsified from an AP photo taken in 2008,” the lawmaker wrote.

At the same time the revealed forgery “doesn’t change the fact that there is plenty of evidence Russia has made advances into the country with T-72 tanks and that pro-Russian separatists have been killing Ukrainians in cold blood,” the US senator maintains.

It's not like the US hasn't done anything like this.  It worked for Chalabi and Powell in Iraq.  Ukraine just watches and copies.  And perhaps was even advised, but when busted, is on its on.  Sort of like a CIA agent.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
