Ok so this shit has been making me sick to my stomach as of late, but recently, I keep seeing these memes popping up in various social media feeds about a genre called “NATOwave”. Basically worshipping NATO and western imperialism. It’s fucking cringe. NATO and America have been responsible for raiding and raping countless many nations: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. and these people, who probably didn’t know/didn’t care wtf a NATO was before this Ukraine situation, let alone these BurgerLanders being able to point to fucking Ukraine on a map prior to this conflict unless they played S.T.A.L.K.E.R, but now all of a sudden their chanting “OO SS AY OO SS AY OO SS AYY LESS GO NATO” as if NATO is a fucking football team. The meteoric rise of propaganda in these times, from various news outlets/personalities who were still on the fence about the situation in Ukraine to going lockstep with the “slava ukraini” brigade, to displaying images from other countries like Syria and even games like War Thunder as images/events from Ukraine is just, well it’s not unexpected but it’s still shocking nonetheless.

    Trouble is an economic war is unwinnable for them, and this propaganda is building justification for a hot one.

    And if it goes hot, nobody wins.

    The “if we lose, we make sure everyone loses” doctrine that the US accuses DPRK of hiding behind is the US’s main lifeline now and the main reason it has to be left to rot for itself instead of being dismantled.
