  1. Their ambassador will have to endure the power of our Stern Lookâ„¢. That should convince his government that they should not force us to use the threat of a raised voice on him!

    I’d love to see proof of this published whenever it happens so that we can see the evidence for ourselves and those that deny it/back Russia’s narrative are forced into a corner.

    I know they’ll just argue their way out of it regardless, but they need to be repeatedly called out, and with actual evidence, not just accusations.

  3. This is just fucking *embarrassing* for Russia now, how can they not see how utterly pathetic and useless they are?

    Their cyber-attacks always get caught and fail due to even basic security systems flagging them up before they’ve done much if any damage, and their “election interference” is about as useful as an old man ranting on a Facebook group (and indeed often does take the form of old men ranting on Facebook groups).

    I know it’s a mild ballache for security experts to keep on top of just in case they manage to work out how to mount a successful attack, but that aside it’s almost laughable how fucking stupid and incompetent they are.

  4. Russia can do whatever its wants.
    They will simply deny any involvement regardless of how much evidence is actually found, which is completely expected from such a weak and spineless nation.
    It’s time for Europe to stand up as one grow some balls and sort Russia out they need to be put in their place.

  5. Direct election interference by foreign nations should be grounds for extreme penalties that are enforced with extreme prejudice.

  6. Western countries need to collectively wake up and go back to Cold War levels of counter-intelligence, if they haven’t already. That includes Social Media these days.

    Clearly Russia can’t help themselves clinging to stupid unnecessary Cold War games, because that was the last time Putin felt relevant.

  7. It’s like an old joke.. “are you not afraid people will know what you did? – you do and what does it change?”

    Additional advice, besides the obvious don’t visit right now, but specifically also don’t visit Florida. Their #1 sources of income is tourism. Let the magats wallet dry up

  9. They’ve been doing it since 2015 starting with the United States and the politicians in both the U.S. and Europe have done nothing and the electorate is too stupid to resist voting for the clearly wrong choice.

  10. Not surprising, redpill factories and their disinformation campaigns played a significant role is MAGAs development and trumps election. As successful as the strategy was at dividing the states it stands to reason they’ll shift focus to destabilizing other nato allies

    Oh yeah, we had that happen here in America a while back. Didn’t really do anything about it, though.

    Y’all may want to nip that in the bud.
