I hope the interviewer also asked Obama how many refugees he thinks were created by all the bombs he dropped

Obama inherited two wars, the Arab Spring civil wars, the hunt for Bin Laden and separate Russian invasions of Syria, Georgia and Crimea just to piss off Ousdahl.

While we were watching the Russia drama:

2 hours ago
Reports seem confirmed that Ukraine has crossed the Dnipro River near the Antonovsky Bridge and established a small bridgehead.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

But has he really been vying for Russia's top defense job? As Newsweek Misinformation Watch found, Iranian outlets have apparently fallen for a social media hoax.

A number of Twitter, Reddit and Telegram posts (in English, Persian and other languages) over the past two days made the sensational claim that Steven Seagal, the star of 1990s action blockbusters Under Siege and Out for Justice, was set to replace Shoigu as the head of the Russian ministry of defense.

[...]

The articles, which referenced Sputnik as their source, appeared to have since been deleted from the Fars News, IRGC and other outlets and their Telegram channels, which have hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

Newsweek searched the Sputnik website and Telegram feed and found no evidence of such a story being published. Instead, as other users pointed out, the Iranians appeared to have taken the jokes and memes surrounding Prigozhin's mutiny—and referencing Seagal's deep ties to Russia—at face value.

i will again reference Tom Segura’s comedy bit about Seagal

the funny thing is that it would totally fit with former narrative of russia (or the soviet union, really) being decades behind the US on pop culture

i chuckle at the thought of putin watching 90s action films and thinking “i should get this guy on my team”

After we turned a knownothing pussy-grabber (who we reasonably suspect is beholden to mobsters and oligarchs) into the leader of the free world, our gullibility on this point is understandable.

Not sure we’ve ever had a leader of the free world who wasn’t beholden to oligarchs…

Media hits every misstatement of Biden in an attempt to de-legitimize him. Reagan wasn't even speaking the same language a few years in and had Nancy's arm up his ass. "The Great Communicator."

What misstatement?

That “it’s hard to tell but Putin is clearly loosing the war in Iraq” (second Biden Iraq slip in 24 hours btw)

Or that if Putin is clearly loosing then why is it hard to tell?
