I wish one of these loving cowards would just ask 'what do you MEAN, though' when these leaders say poo poo like that.

Like, what are we going to DO? Isn't Putin one of the most sanctioned leaders on earth? Are we going to loving go to war over this conspiracy bullshit? How many human beings are we going to vaporize because daddy Joe didn't win by enough and that's clearly the vile Russian plot?

What's so irritating about the Russia and China (and Iran) saber-rattling is that nobody ever wants to admit that the US wants war.

If you challenge any of these interventionists on What Should Be Done about RussiaChina, they'll always stop short and claim "we are not going to war with China, that would be insane" even though there's no other actual logical endpoint for all of the constant escalation

But like, it also doesn't make sense: if you know that there's another no-poo poo genocide happening in Asia and you've got Hitler 2.0 extinguishing a whole race of people, and you DON'T want to start a war to stop it, then what does that say about the principles you supposedly cling to? If Russia DID hack the elections, and that's not enough to justify military action, then what does?

Nobody wants to admit that they want war because they know that it makes them look (more) like blood-gargling psychopaths, but the refusal to acknowledge this just forces people into increasingly twisted rhetorical knots where there's always some even larger atrocity afoot.

It reminds me of how the USSR was actually the one that kept trying to de-escalate tensions in the Cold War despite the West's best efforts. They're the rational people at the table trying to prevent this all from melting down.

yes let’s get into a state level actor hacking war just after a bunch of critical exchange security vulnerabilities were revealed. I’m sure this couldn’t possibly backfire

best case scenario is they’re only referring to posting terrible “hello fellow Russians” type stuff on Twitter and Facebook ads which is what the election “hacking” was

They are doing the old "start some poo poo abroad so we don't have to deal with domestic problems or possible revolt and revolution at home" thing. Except it won't work because Americans are still sick to death of foreign engagements and want to kill each other instead so it will end up even worse than usual

Bill Browder
@Billbrowder
CEO Hermitage Capital, Head of Global Magnitsky Justice campaign, and Author of Red Notice

2 people died (one of a stroke, IDK) who worked at a hospital where someone was once a patient. This means Putin killed them. No theory as to why Putin had them killed is offered. Also Bill Browder is saying it was the head and the deputy head but the quoted tweet says "Head of the emergency department and a deputy head of the same hospital". Oh also one of them was retired when Navalny was a patient.

This is like Clinton Body Count poo poo, just absolute derangement

For a connection to the original McCarthyism, Bill Browder is the grandson of Earl Browder, who was a head of the CPUSA.
