    The narrative is slipping a bit. I wonder what the favorability is of the media overall in the USA? It can’t be much higher than Congress.

      Maybe in the US. Here in Europe people think Zelensky is some kind of war hero, and that Russia would have invaded us all if it weren’t for Ukraine. Not everyone believes this, but there is a great deal of brainwashing going on.

      The longer the war goes on, the more and more the narrative falls apart. The narrative that Ukraine are unequivocally the good guys is becoming untenable because we hear about a new Nazi war crime every week, the narrative that the army needs more aid is starting to fail because we’re about to give those douchebags $40 billion dollars. The only thing keeping support up is atrocity propaganda.

    More and more people wake up every day and realize they’ve been had. All the Anti-Putin stuff is just a distraction from our own domestic problems and that day is getting ever closer when people simply can’t ignore it any more. I think gas prices are going to be the tipping point if this inflation keeps up.

    hahaha DPRK being a bigger threat to USA than Russia is peak Yellow Peril

    The country you already bombed to pieces and has 0 influence on world markets and geopolitics is a bigger threat than the world’s second strongest military, second strongest nuclear stockpile, and one of the biggest players in exporting energy and food?

      The US can’t just come out and say that we seek the destruction of China yet because we still rely on them for…everything. So North Korea is the next logical choice to frame as our “great enemy.”

    I’m pretty sure it’s more about hate for Biden from GOP supporters but it’s still funny to look at
