Why do people assume reposting something means you are in agreement with it?

I sent the story about shots at the White House lawn in a group chat the other day right after it happened, guess that means I endorsed the shooter per idiots on here

Cleared of ALL thoughts!

We were talking about how it began, not how it is being conducted.

Nope. The brainwashing was mainly one sided. Vladimir Vladimirovich spent 20 years drinking his own Kool aid about how strong Russia was. If Vladimir Vladimirovich was not drunk off his ego and propaganda then he would have realized after his forces were forced to retreat from Kyiv and Kharkiv in the first month of the invasion that he could not win. He probably could have gotten Ukraine to trade away the LPR, DPR, and Crimea in exchange for ending war then.

mid range Hornet drone details...

?What's Special About Hornet UAV Ukrainians Using to Destroy russian Logistics, Where Did It Come From, What Are Its Key Features

russians consider Hornet UAV strikes on logistics routes at depths of up to 150 km to be very painful. The design of this UAV is no longer a secret, as russians have already disassembled the Hornet, but will the enemy be able to copy its main feature?

The main feature of the Hornet UAV is its high autonomy with target detection and capture algorithms, as well as visual navigation, for which a camera looking down is needed. This allows it to be independent of satellite navigation. That is why this drone does not have a multi-element anti-jamming GPS system.

But you didn’t say anything about brainwashing. We had an entire agency devoted to brainwashing citizens of other countries so that we could influence their elections. It was USAID. It got its start brainwashing Italians, and its swan song was brainwashing Ukrainians. Russia was trying to do the same thing. In fact, the Russians flipped the Ukrainian government before we flipped it again.

Ukraine was anti Russia before it left the USSR, the most corrupt were pro Russia. USAID has nothing to do with those sentiments

So USAID was just wasting all of that money it was spending to buy reporters and religious leaders?

Your comment ignores the fact that the democratically elected government in Ukraine was pro-Russian before we helped get Z elected.

And yours ignores the fact that Russia tried to assassinate the democratically elected president Yuschenko via poisoning well before that. In fact, other than Russian goon Yanokovych every single Ukrainian president since the USSR break up has been pro - west, anti Moscow.

And all of this comports quite nicely with what I’ve been saying. Russia has been practicing brainwashing and so has the US.

A president elected due his support of joining the EU reversed course after being elected then fled to daddy Putin when demonstrations broke out. USAID didnt do that and no one there gave two craps about Victoria Nuland

In late 2013 and in early 2014 the democratically elected president turned on the people and injured hundreds. He ran for his life and the democratically elected parliament “impeached” him.

You ignore the fact that Russia launched a planned invasion shortly thereafter.

Zelensky was elected in 2019 and became president in 2020. Years passed between the two events.

The US didn’t put Z in office.

THIS is brainwashing, through the Orban-funded Heritage Foundation among others to undermine American influence globally, and (unintentionally?) allowing China to fill the vacuum.

NYT Shared article: Falsehoods Fuel the Right-Wing Crusade Against U.S.A.I.D.
As the Trump administration works to dismantle the aid agency, right-wing influencers have flooded the internet with falsehoods about its work.

But this board is the last place to waste the energy to even post a link about any of that... there's Q revival going on, here.

The history of Russia and Ukraine, especially the Stalin era, is not forgotten in Ukraine.

People on this board get all excited at the prospect of Alberta seceding from Canada or Texas seceding from the US on "justified grounds" that amount to nonsense... but look at Ukraine suffering a genocide under Stalin, and Putin's stated goal of inflicting another cultural genocide on them, and say they're brainwashed and overreacting. Just mindboggling...

and Yanokovych lied about being pro-EU to get elected, then tried to switch things to be pro-Russian, which caused a revolt and his ouster
