    Probably in reference to Fox News advocating the USA “burn some bridges” with Denmark by “liberating” Greenland, the dumb fucking assholes.

      Because war is easy to sell to your mouth breathing electorate.

      There’s a big bad guy causing all your problems! Let me be strong and kill him. And while I do, I’ll make sure immigrants don’t take your jobs.

      The classic is regime change to prevent the WMDs (use all those expensive bombs up), and then rebuilding contracts and a sweet deal on oil, rare earths, and security.

        I love how everyone involved in that just got a pass for lying about that. Like they started a war that killed hundreds of thousands, not to mention all the blood and treasure we pissed down that whole. And as a consequence? They got rich. Just fucking embarrassing…

    I mean, it is, it’s just slightly less blatant. Every newspaper in Europe with corporate backing has been preparing the groundwork for a forever war with Russia, and don’t even get me started with the Americans (they’re experts at it, what’s an empire without pillaging and conquest?!).

      Ah yes, every newspaper in Europe and certainly not the actions of Putin has been preparing the groundwork for a forever war with Russia.
