    It’s like watching a liberal game of telephone, the Economist publishes an article citing unnamed “insiders”, a Ukrainian propaganda news outlet picks it up and exaggerates, shitlibs read it (well, the headline, anyway) and announce that they want to watch Putin get killed as pornography.

    Good thing this aligns with US interests and they vote for someone with a (D) in front of their name, otherwise this would seem completely unhinged

      this must have been what reading western media during the cold war was like. russian nationalist chud publishes book about gulag and hating jews, corporate press, intelligence agencies, and academia pick up on it, pop history starts citing it, official history starts citing it through obfuscation.
