      90% of the world online scammers and hackers

      It’s crazy how these major tent poles of the modern internet - Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Microsoft - are all centered in the United States, but never bare any responsibility for the malicious traffic on their networks.

      You wouldn’t believe that this was one of the narratives for justifying the invasion to Ukraine in early 2022. Russian social media was full of narratives basically saying that Ukrainians are no longer able to scam common Russians, because the so-called “scam centers” were hit by missiles.

      It’s 2k26 and the same warmongering narrative is everywhere in the west social media. Y’all think you are invincible to propaganda, yet you’re falling to it in the same way.

        I hate the US and Russia equally, i dont have a side in this. That being said, what are you actually saying here? I dont think anyone is saying we should invade Russia.

          I hate the US and Russia equally

          If I were a native or neighbor of one, I might hate it more than the other, merely due to proximity.

          I dont think anyone is saying we should invade Russia.

          I seem to recall a bunch of anti-Russia hawks saying exactly this when the invasion happened in '21. The US, the EU, the rest of the Asiatic continent - they were all told they needed to team up and crush Russia, once and for all.

          Now that the US has collapsed into a fascist regime marginally sympathetic to Russian white nationalism, the Keyboard Commandos of Reddit don’t really expect Cheeto Mussolini Von Putinkisser to take the fight to Moscow.

          But I’ve also heard (1) Putin is senile / infirm / on death’s door and regime change in Russia will come any day now and (2) The Russian military is absolutely on the brink of collapse, so another year or ten of drone skirmishes will be the end of the entire Russian armed forces with a bit of patience. Just a few hundred more billion to Ukraine will be the end of the Russian army absolutely for certain guaranteed. So we never really needed to invade directly, just finance an endless parade of mercenaries to get the job done.
