          Sarcasm.

          But we’re posting under a link to The Intercept. I’m surprised we don’t have more folks saying it sincerely, given how critical the paper has been of the Biden administration.

            Ah I see. Usually I’m not in favour of the sarcasm tag (ruins the joke) but it would have really helped here, lol.

        Putin is a cunt and Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine must be stopped.

        If I was on Russia’s payroll that should be enough to get me arrested or at least fired.

        So either I’m risking my safety OOOOORRRR not everyone opposed to Biden’s support for Israel is a Russian bot. Golly gosh I wonder which one it is

          You don’t need to be on Russia’s payroll to spew pro-Putin talking points. Plenty of American oligarchs will foot the bill.

          So either I’m risking my safety

          Its so crazy to be listening to a podcast interview with Daniel Santiago while reading this.

            You know, if criticizing killing is a “pro-Putin talking point,” then pro Putin talking points clearly aren’t always bad? Should I be in favour of murder to really show how much I hate Putin? Literally what the fuck are you talking about

            I agree with Putin that the sky is blue too. I’m expecting my rubles in the mail any day now.

              If they are Pro-Putin, they must be bad. Or possibly an evil trick, trying to fool me into thinking Russians aren’t a D&D monster race that is ontological evil.

              Should I be in favour of murder to really show how much I hate Putin?

              I mean, the real irony of all this is in how politically tight Putin and Netanyahu have been over the last twenty years. What’s more, the over 80k Russian Jews migrating to Israel since the start of Russia-Ukraine hostilities have been at the forefront of the Israeli settler movement over the same period of time.

              So… you could kinda sorta see a line between these two countries and their respective wars on their neighbors.

              But that kind of analysis sends pro-Israel / anti-Russia journalists into a confused and angry spiral. So we go out of our way to avoid conflating these conflicts at every opportunity.

              I agree with Putin that the sky is blue too. I’m expecting my rubles in the mail any day now.
