so Putin is FINALLY getting his monies worth.
Putin getting return on investment.
The mental gymnastics needed to keep supporting this lunatic are staggering. His supporters are truly hopelessly lost.
- It's true, but it has not changed at all despite everything.
  
  We're in the stage now where people think it can be stopped or maybe some of his voters will "wake up".
  
  They will not. It can not - not with our corrupted corporate news sewers and fascist social media.
Well yeah he’s been a Russian asset since helped their mob move in on Italian territory
We've always been friends with Westasia.
- Double plus good reference.
  
  I'm happy Europe is looking to bolster military in the wake of us shitting the NATO bed but it just....fits too well into the story lol
  
  I’d almost think our equivalent to 1984’s “reduced vocabulary” is the question of “Are you left wing or right wing?”
  
  Coming to the forefront as we champion the statistic that, when talking about policies past outrage headlines, a lot of Americans agree on major issues.
- Or well, something like that.
Did Putin say thank you?
- He patted the demented rapist on the head.
Thank gods for that underlining or I wouldn’t have known what part of those three sentences was important.
- And the whole thing is just such a shocking revelation no one was aware of.
This is not a meme.
- Ah, yes. Welcome.
We've known this since before 2016!
He also abandoned the Kurds
He's also not providing military support to and not sharing intelligence with Russia, so that means he's actively and intentionally supporting Ukraine.
- YOU WERE SAYING?
  
  I think you're kind of missing the point. I was pointing out the obvious self contradiction in the Bush-Cheney era "you're either with us or against us" war criminal rhetoric. I'll spell it out some more.
  
  You personally are not providing weapons to Israel, nor intelligence. Does this mean that you personally are actively aiding and abetting Palestine?
  
  When America invaded Vietnam, Angola did not provide weapons and intelligence to Vietnam. Does that mean Angola was actively aiding and abetting Vietnam?
  
  When America invaded Iraq, France did not provide weapons and intelligence to America. Does that mean France was aiding and abetting Iraq?
- He's also not providing military support to and not sharing intelligence with Russia
  
  Yeah right
Yes. We know.

Next.
