Two handguns? No evidence it had anything to do with Russia? Lmfao wtf

Yeah there seems to be zero evidence for that assertion only speculation.

But the warmongering and hysteria is really reaching a boiling point it seems. They need it for Nato 3.0 5% of GDP for the new privatized military military complex. Fuck yeah we want the total war lol.

Really reminds me of that Star Wars scene: "So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause". Neoliberals literally digging their own grave.

Unfortunately that scene lives in my head as well, lol. Neoliberals will cheer for fucking anything as long as the elite tell them it's good for the economy, lol.

Yeah. When I was looking up that quote I thought it was "democracy dies" and was worried it wouldn't really fit, but luckily it said "liberty" lol. Comrade Lucas was really prescient!
