Russia

[Le Redditeur]

Like I said, this stinks. It smells like all the other lies the government-media machine told to get our fine military men slaughtered in meaningless quagmires. Shedding blood for ingrate asshole foreigners that hate us.

This, except this time it's the Russian government-media machine having their own men slaughtered in meaningless quagmire and shedding blood for foreigners that hate them.

Nobody forces the Russian state to start this but itself. And while might makes right, they clearly didn't have the might, so that's a moot point.

Though the increasingly autistic pissing contest between the regular Russian military and Putin's favorite mercenary troupe is very entertaining.

It's that unique touch that confirms that you are, in fact, watching Russians duking it out. You will never get an American mercenary commander recording a video in the dead of the night, screaming at the Secretary of Defense and calling him names, demanding artillery and ammunition. Makes you wonder exactly how much vodka is involved in that sort of planning (spoilers: it's a lot)

Prigozin (or whatever you spell it) is a spokesman/clown/troll who just says random things to mess up the media/intelligence. He doesn't even have a military background, like, at all. I find it funny so many people underestimate Russia's PR capacity (which is admittedly not good) and take his random shit seriously. I mean, he was saying Bakhmut was falling due to the flank attack, you just have to put two and two.

I don't know what is going on with this war, but it stinks. I'm not buying this good guy/bad guy narrative the media is pushing.

Always keep in mind how suddenly since 2015 China became the left's darling.
No word about Tibet, Hong Kong or Taiwan anymore. No word about the concentration camps. All because of money.

So when Russia is the super villain like it's the cold war and we are supposed to be on the side of Ukraine, money is the motivation.
Both are corrupt shitholes. Neither is our ally. We shouldn't have done a single thing about this CIA and KGB power struggle.

Remember when Western politicians were falling over themselves to invite the Dalai Lama?

I do. None of the tankies do though.

And you guys were the best villains ever! I'm surprised they didn't keep you around.

We're a US vassal state. Kinda difficult to keep us around as villains that way.

I'm also seeing a lot of oh-so peaceful and tolerant liberals online literally screaming for Russian blood, celebrating Russian deaths, and dehumanizing the Russian people as monsters. I'm assuming a lot of these posters are paid Ukrainian propagandists, and some are probably shit-stirring US State Department agents.

How's that red pill taste?
