Yes, those faux anti-imperialist ‘tankie’ sh*theads (allegedly of the left) n Anglosphere who promote Kremlin talking points in indie media, that reflect the same talking points of RWNJS and Koch Network…..

I love the comment from the former porn shop attendant who apparently spilled the beans:

“I know he might have problems with gay people, but I don’t think he has problems with lesbians.”

Bloody hilarious.

The entire Russian-funded alt-right and peacenik-left universe is just about to unravel.
Many of the prominent players – I won’t try to give names here – have been well funded to push Russian talking points, while having “no idea” of their source of funding.
It will be interesting to watch them dodge treason charges, at least in the U.S.
Of course, there is a larger constellation of unpaid idiots who repeat the same points!

Many complaints in the US of how Trump has been treated as normal, and even his incoherent speeches being avoided live, but edited by RW MSM.

Including the one with presenters spouting Kremlin talking points, great replacment with denigration of Ukraine, Zelensky, NATO, the West and the EU, butvpraise for Putin, Orban et al; same also used by Trump..

To be fair, the Washington Post did run a Trump Lie counter during Trump’s presidency, reaching the grand total of 30,573 over 4 years, or over 20 a day. Maybe they go tired after that:
