@GottaLaff
Interesting, wonder where he got the idea to do that? I mean even though he is a self appointed "stable genius".

@pg1958

It’s pretty much a standard operating procedure for the CIA. There’s a fairly long list of countries that have been subjected to this strategy.

@GottaLaff

@GottaLaff hmmm….. this sounds kinda familiar…
@GottaLaff My alarm bells are screaming about this article. It’s WAY more biased than I’ve ever seen from Reuters before.

@roque Reuters as I recall, is under ownership that raises eyebrows. I have to go back and look.

But they still do some good reporting

@GottaLaff I’ve never honestly been suspicious of them before
@GottaLaff MAGA: "Wait, wait, wait ... I thought we weren't getting involved in overseas 'problems'. America First and all that, right? I mean, that's why we're stonewalling UKR, right? I don't understand. It seems so inconsistent ... almost like ... whatever benefits TRUMP the most is the policy!!"
