    Oh, for fuck's sake.

    According to the definition you want to use, we have "boots on the ground" in almost every country in the world.

    Everyone who isn't blazingly dishonest, desperate for a cheap "gotcha," and/or a Putin stooge can see this.

    Yep. By this definition every country in the world has boots on the ground in almost every other country.

    Hell, by that definition Russia has invaded the United States.

    *sigh*

    Fuck.

    Guess I’ll have to defend the kid because he is too stupid to.

    This time the righties aren’t getting their panties in a twist about just any DoD folks being in country. They already slammed their own dick in the door earlier for getting up in arms about soldiers ‘in country’ but turned out to just be at the Embassy.

    See there was a freak out last summer when it came out Biden OMG DOUBLED! the military presence in Ukraine. But then it turned out to be folks he’d sent over to the Embassy to audit/monitor our military supplies.

    What is putting them in a frenzy is that in a supposed leaked slide one of like eight info boxes lists NATO SOF (Special Operations Forces) pax in country says there are 14x US SOF pax. What’s hilarious is same slide says there is 1x NL SOF pax. So apparently they also believe one little Dutch dude is running around being Billy Baddass all on his own. Like just this little scared lonely little dude running around the country in wooden shoes for a year now frantically plugging up dykes and constantly asking for support and just getting radio silence in response (or maybe he is also just working out of their embassy monitoring the supply/performance of their gear).

    However as I have stated a couple times SOF doesn’t just mean CAG, SF or other kinetic Billy Baddasses y’all don’t know about. It also includes PsyOp and CA (Civil Affairs) which if the Fox News report I linked to earlier is accurate is what DoD is saying they are. That they are the exact same troops assigned to the Embassy last summer to monitor the distribution and usage of US supplied arms.


    And the math actually works out. According to people describing the same supposed leaked slide there are 29 total DoD pax in country and 14 are SOF and Fox News is saying they are assigned to the embassy to monitor weapons (this is me going out on a limb and saying that means CA) 14 is pretty close to half of 29.

    So the righties by hating America/Biden and being ignorant of the military played themselves twice on the same thing! LOL!

    I should have known from the boy knowing of the doctored version that Tucker had featured it.

    Because of course Tucker would.

    Whelp they tracked down the creator of it.

    I didn't say anything about that. I said that we weren't being told about this. I'll also add that the media isn't really asking any real questions about this either. We (the people) also didn't know that Ukraine's air defenses aren't looking so hot, or Ukraine attacked a Russian plane in Belarus, something that US intell agencies really didn't want them doing, Zelensky saying he wants longer ranging missiles to strike inside of Russia knowing that will escalate things. Again, something Biden said no to and something that is not in our best interest. Remember when he came to the joint session of Congress begging for money and we gave it to him? Remember how he wanted long range missiles? How about us pissing off South Korea by pressuring them to send funds to Ukraine? Any of that come up in your MSM news feed bubble? Likely not.

    All of it. :shrug:
    Maybe actually watch some news, instead of what your pundit asswipes tell you is being said?
    Nahhh...real news is boring, and pundits are wacky fun like Saturday cartoons.
    Can't give up your cartoons!

    Seems a former NCO helped spread the doctored versions of the Discord leaked docs. She pretends to be a Russian living in Luhansk, but is actually from New Jersey, which doesn't help its reputation as a human cesspool, though she now lives in DC.

    She might be in for some karma though:

    Let's be honest - @Bill Carson was waiting for any chance he could to jump on the Russian bootlicking train here because that's what he sees a lot of people he worships and parrots in right wing media doing

    He made the mistake of hitching his wagon to the anti russia side without seeing where his right wing overlords were going but as soon as this leaked info came out, and even though it's really weak sauce, he jumped on the opportunity to start cultivating his pro russia stance

    That's only because the tank forgot to turn on tank stance in this dungeon so I'm off tanking as melee :shrug:

    It's okay though, I know how to roll my defensives and tank as melee :diacanu:

    I'm impressed at your level of Zen. If I was complaining about my government being fascist racists engaging in a conspiracy to secretly fight in a war and funneling hundreds of millions of dollars from it to the presidents family I'd be angry for sure!

    Funny thing. Got to work this morning and an email sent overnight says I have training. and one is Active Shooter training - just a stupid PP telling us what to do just in case. Anyway, one of the slides is telling us how to spot behaviors and characteristics that a person may become an active shooter. I swear it's describing me. I sent it to UA, he said he'd keep an eye out. When I told coworkers, they all just laughed at me. Anyway, below is the description they gave. I've recently started listening to true crime podcasts. active assilant.jpg

    TBF, if I was gonna peg anyone as likely to go nuts with a gun, it's someone who has to put up with UA on a daily basis.
