Welp there goes my fucking sleep for tonight. I wish Washington and Langley alone would somehow disappear off the face of the earth and solve half the problems in the world overnight.

Why the fuck does the rest of the world have to risk a nuclear extinction (and a climate one, honestly) just because the US are too fucking stupid and greedy to let go of a single cent in the world.

This instance is hilarious.

Russia makes threats with nukes, because a country they attacked dares to defend itself

lemmy.ml: Why would the US do this?

The notion that Russia doesn't need to invade or make nuclear threats is completely unthinkable around these parts.

If you just analyze the 1000 most recent posts on the local worldnews, it's pretty openly a propaganda channel.

Fuck off, Americans might not have a working memory longer than the last headline, but I remember the US proudly supporting the maidan coup with congresspeople on the ground, and I remember the US sending billions in weapons, blocking peace talks that a majority of Ukrainians want (because it wOulD bE a cOnCesSiOn) and Biden authorizing the use of NATO weaponry and guidance systems, any of which could reasonably carry a nuclear warhead. Let's not foeget the US is the only country to ever use them on people.

I've been told for a year that the traditional military operation Russia willingly engaged in was a colossal failure and Russia was bound to fall down at the slightest wind, on other threads you stupid gringos are going"lol he won't do it let's keep poking" and then you come on other threads to pretend history starts at the reply and not the provocation.

The rest of the world no longer buys the concern trolling from clueless (or outright malicious) gringos.

The US has done what it's done for over a century, sabotage, start proxy wars and undermine democracy and when a country replies dumbass fucking libs will start crying about how that country is just being super aggressive for, like, just no reason 😢.

Why do you give Russia a free pass here? They are the ones threatening to use nuclear weapons. But somehow Washington is the bad guys. What a fucked up take.
