    Reddit is the biggest drug lab in the world right now with all the copium being produced.

    But they all seem to think this magically happened again.

      r/GenUSA has busied itself on congratulating Ukraine on their nonexistent “victories” in the Kherson region.

        They can soon congratulate their beloved country going down the drain to own the Ruskis and the Chaiknees. I hope they are proud.

        If the US actually starts shit with China half the planet will be nuclear fire. I think Pepsi is just trying to get brownie points with libs because it’s all she has left. Everyone hates that old bag of shit at this point.

        I’ll be honest though. If she fucking died during her little visit it would be pretty fucking awesome.

          Good idea. I was mainly thinking in terms of oil

            Now that I think of it, Venezuela would actually make more sense, but Cuba would be more symbolic

        Im iffy on that one, US actually was making moves to invade under Trump it was I believe when Russia sent in weapons and jets and made it clear if they attacked Venezuela Russia would come to it’s aid. But then again, would the US miss an opportunity to strike while Russia is busy in Ukraine? Just seems like such a stupid fucking move, truly would launch us directly into a world war in both Europe and south America and would extend into who knows how many proxy wars and could end in nuclear winter.

          They actually did try to [assassinate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gideon_(2020)#:~:text=Operation Gideon (Spanish%3A Operación Gedeón,Maduro from office in Venezuela.) Nicolas Maduro, using the old trick of “hire civilian contractors and ex-military personnel so that you have plausible deniability.” It failed, rather hilariously, because whoever was in charge of planning and security didn’t seem to realize that airsoft guns aren’t real weapons, and that if you’re planning a super-secret military operation, you probably shouldn’t post details of it on twitter.

            Wasn’t there also an attempt with a grenade launcher or something like that as well? Hard to keep track of US sponsored coups/assassinations in latin America but I remember there being some close call with a grenade launcher, perhaps it was of the one’s on Castro or Chavez.

              That sounds familiar. With Castro, the CIA basically tried everything and failed, to the point where it got pretty cartoonish: exploding cigars, female assassins whom Fidel ended up seducing, etc.

          Well there’s always a coup option. Didn’t work the first time with Guaido, but there were news about Colombia offering their support. And the oil needs to come from somewhere

          Their brains are like those scam SD cards. They have way less space than they advertise to the OS and so just keep overwriting the old data.

    lol, they’re literally editing the wikipedia page to alter the definition of recession so the US isn’t in one.

      Terms like “recession” and “energy independence” are becoming more and more useless buzzwords to evoke a desired emotional response to serve propaganda purposes for either faction of the ruling class.

        I mean, everywhere else it’s just 2 consecutive quarters of economic contraction, the definition has never been contested before. Only now when it applies to themselves do USonians want to argue about it.

          Yes, and before this presidency the definition of energy independence was pretty clear as well, being a net exporter. But now trumpers hear energy independence and act like we didn’t import fuel under Trump and only ran on our own while under Trump we imported 7.9 million barrels a day. Same thing really, slightly different lies to serve the same class.

        As the old American joke goes, economists spend 90% of their time studying how to lie without lying and another 10% learning how to con people with meaningless graphs
