They literally think the Russian brainpan is incapable of comprehending democracy due to them assimilating Mongolo-Asiatic authoritarianism genes in the time they were under Mongol rule so probably, yeah.

Missed all the fun being out for the evening. I just want to inform you that I am not even exaggerating for comedic purposes that much, here is a random video found by typing “mongol influence on russian culture” on google and clicking the video tab. It features bangers such as “It has been several hundred years in their genetic inheritance that authoritarianism is the only solution”.

I particularly love the fact that libs simultaneously believe that Russia is on a brink of collapse and about to roll over Europe as soon as it’s done with Ukraine. They see no contradiction there.

in February of 2022 Biden said that he was trying to reestablish the Soviet Union.

He has also said that he is proud to have been the first black woman to serve with a black president.

In general, I would not associate Biden with the word ‘intelligence’.

And yeah, no, if Putin was trying to reestablish the USSR, he would be much better than he is. An anti-colonial power that massively improves its people’s lives? Sign me up.

He also managed to mumble this out during the debate a week ago, too. However, we can’t be sure Biden even knows what year it is, so it’s unclear if he still believes this hilarious lie or if he thinks it’s 2022.

Ögedei didn’t even tried to take Europe, it was a really big scout party which casually obliterated every army they encountered, arrived at Hungary, seen the pushta and considered staying because it reminded them of home and then went back because khan died and new one had to be elected. In the meantime collective Europe was thrown into a state of abject terror not known since Attila the Hun. But of course as soon as it passed, islamophobia kicked in, they started to blabber about Prester John and tried to use Mongols against muslims.

Still not as embarrassing as admitting the Minsk agreements were all just to buy time for Ukraine.

The original narratives about Ukraine no longer matter, the only thing left in the collective consciousness is Ukraine is a democracy therefore the war is about “western values”. The good thing is since then even a good part liberals don’t care about that anymore, its impossible to manufacture a narrative that Ukraine is winning right now, at best they “resisting” evil Putler and Zelensky does nothing but beg for more aid.

The Western media’s admission of the deceitful nature of their narrative exposed liberals, who mindlessly parrot the same talking points despite the revelations, as nothing more than gullible buffoons.

I don’t think liberals could have had a worse week. The cracks in their dome are apparent and aren’t going away. Some people are checking out, some people are saying “enough” to the constant stream of bullshit right to their faces. /R/politics is a hoot right now.

But do they change anything about their approach? Of course not.

No, it was always this way. We always knew this. The way the government is admitting things are is the same as what they’ve been saying all along. Your left-wing views always make you say paranoid stuff like this. This is not an unexpected departure from the official line. The only people who were trying to scare us about how Europe could be invaded next were misinformed marginal figures, not the actual authority figures who always had a reassuring firm grip and level gaze toward reality. If it were really a big change then someone would make a big deal about it, and I don’t see anybody making a fuss.

“He has much larger ambitions than Ukraine. He wants to, in fact, reestablish the former Soviet Union. That’s what this is about.” -President Joe Biden, February 24, 2022.
