    $50 says that Russia is strangely missing from their extensive concern about war crimes, in the same way that Donald Trump is strangely missing from their broad concern about pedophilia. Want to take the bet?

      Oh man and they forgot all about the people committing Genocide in Darfur too! And they forgot to mention Bill Clinton who’s a frequent visitor of Epstein Island and all the other establishment Democrats!!! Oh wait those bad guys don’t exist on CNN!

      There’s some text in the bottom right thats rather on the nose.

      Who do you think “we” is in this context?

        The point isn’t that Putin needs to be on every list of bad people in the world (although, leaving him off such an extensive list of war criminals is pretty strange). The point is that if I rewind back to when every meme from the US political internet was talking about “Russian warship go fuck yourself” or like that, I bet that all of a sudden this page won’t anymore be in such lock-step with the generally popular topics for left person memes.

        $20? I’m taking it from your reply that you don’t want to bet $50 but maybe a smaller one you’re okay with? I will actually bet with you before looking, if you want to take the bet.

            IDK. Is it the well known Erdoğan / Drake / Blinken Alliance?

            Also, I’m assuming you don’t want to bet. If you change your mind, let me know.
