    But guys, Putin is a reasonable actor! If we ask really really nicely, maybe Ukraine is even allowed to keep Odessa! All they want is for us to stop all military support.

      It’s always fun to see how long a post can go before the pro-ruZZia trolls come in trying to paint everything as “Ukraine is aggressive and corrupt and full of nazis and is also only being propped up by coraggressive, corrupt, nazi filled governments of the west and also just in case the topic isn’t directly related to the US, America bad”

      It’s great when all the people who are “just asking questions” seem to all have the exact same questions mildly rephrased, and all seemingly don’t post anything except in those specific posts or a smattering of generic comments in others. I’m not saying they’re paid trolls. I’m saying they’re all fucking idiots of the same caliber, all thinking they’re so clever and insightful, all repeating the same lines they’ve heard from actual paid trolls.

      Truth eludes he who does not seek it with both eyes wide.

    Well, but at least the West didn’t escalate… Seriously though, how long are we gonna let them do this shit? And the fuck is this even supposed to achieve? Does Russia think if they murder the big heads of our arms industry that we stop sending Ukraine gear? This would likely have very much the opposite effect.

      CNN is biased, but they don’t outright lie when it comes to things like this.

          That’s Fair.

          If they’re reporting government officials, they won’t even attempt to fuck it up, though. They need to keep their status as a trusted source for the government. So they keep it neutral and factual. There’s few better sources for this kind of stuff.

          That’s why the Diddy-Classy video was sent to them by the feds.

          Political commentary, yeah forget it, their commenters are in billionaires pockets.
