Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj soll das Kehlsteinhaus in Berchtesgaden gekauft haben.

Publisher’s rating: Die Behauptung, der ukrainische Präsident Selenskyj habe das Kehlsteinhaus in Berchtesgaden gekauft, ist falsch. Der im Video gezeigte Kaufvertrag ist gefälscht, die Stimme im Video gehört nicht dem Geschäftsführer von Immobilien Freistaat Bayern Gerhard Reichel und auch sein Zitat wurde frei erfunden. Ursprung der Falschbehauptung ist die russische Desinformationskampagne Storm-1516. Aufgegriffen wurde das Narrativ auch vom russischen Pravda-Netzwerk, das derartige Propaganda-Inhalte weiterverbreitet, um die Antworten von KI-Chatbots zu beeinflussen.

中道・斉藤鉄夫氏「人間より他にもっと大事なものがある」と発言?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

A viral video edited a news interview to make it appear that Saito said there was something more important than human happiness. In the full remarks, he said he rejected that idea and argued for putting people at the center; the review says the edit reversed his meaning.

“We paid for, in my opinion, 100% of NATO because they weren’t paying their bills.”

Publisher’s rating: False

The review says the United States was not paying for all of NATO. It explains that Trump conflated countries’ independently chosen military spending with NATO’s shared operational costs; the U.S. pays about 15% of NATO’s common-funded budgets.

Photos show SJB members of parliament recently protesting in support of Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review found that the photos do not show a recent SJB protest in support of Harini Amarasuriya: they show an earlier protest in Parliament on November 25, 2021. SJB MPs wore orange armbands and “Stop Violence Against Women” stickers for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, not to support Amarasuriya against recent backlash.

The viral video shows Defence Minister Rajnath Singh comparing the RSS to the Afghan Taliban.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that the viral clip was digitally manipulated and that the original footage came from Rajnath Singh’s speech at a defence facility inauguration in Nagpur. It says its review of the full speech found none of the attributed remarks and that PIB Fact Check identified the clip as a deepfake.

"Until I came along," the US "was paying for virtually 100% of NATO," Trump said, adding, "We paid for, in my opinion, 100% of NATO."

Publisher’s rating: False

The review says US spending accounted for a little over 70% of NATO members’ total defense spending in 2016, not virtually 100%. It also says the US contributed about 22% of NATO’s common budget, with the remainder paid by other members.

"The United States had never received anything from NATO, despite having paid for it."

Publisher’s rating: False

The review says the claim overlooks NATO allies’ support for the United States after the September 11 attacks. NATO invoked Article 5 the next day, and several allies joined military missions alongside the US, including in Afghanistan.

"And all we're asking for is to get Greenland, including the right title and ownership, because you need the ownership to defend it. You can't defend it on a lease. Number one. Legally, it's not defensible that way. Totally."

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says the United States already has a role in Greenland’s defense through agreements with Denmark and NATO obligations. It explains that ownership is not legally required when the territorial government consents to defense cooperation, and notes that countries operate military bases abroad under agreements without owning the territory.
