    “Bully News: Nerd’s Lunch Money Probably Being Spent On Dorky Shit.”

    So, yeah, a story from a Russian government mouthpiece quoting a Russian government spokesperson spouting Russian government talking points that - deary me, oh my days, can you believe it, bless my soul, what are the odds, well I’ll be - paints a negative image of the country the Russian government illegally and unjustifiably invaded. Or, maybe the oligarchy are just pissed off that the warlords aren’t buying their weapons from them any more?

      “What if I framed geopolitics as a schoolyard quarrel”

      Very original dude. Ever heard of Operation Cyclone?

          This site is like the Bluesky of Reddit in that it is slightly older liberals trying to recapture the magic of being surrounded by bots and teenagers frothing at the mouth with jingoism. But your unfunny jokes just linger in the air like a fart in a poorly ventilated room.

          Very sophomoric, matching your knowledge of history. Extremely amusing to pretend it would be crazy for the US to fund fascists in poorer countries, when it’s the only reason Poland and the Baltic states even have their fake economies. Half of the events in the past 70 years have been instigated by the US funding some proxy force to secure resources.

          You think they’re not going to make a grab for the gold and uranium? Do you even remember what happened to Thomas Sankara, long before Ibrahim Traore?
