Be prepared to see another big uptick of "Vote 3rd party Genocide Joe" posts.
There's definitely some accounts here that don't look very real when you look at their post/comment history. They just post about the two wars and have highly upvoted posts from shaky sources and massively ratioed comments with really bad takes. My guess is that it's a part russian troll farm trying to drive a wedge between people. The account was eight weeks old, too.

Pretty sure my father was a cook. A cook routing encrypted messages.

Why did it take this long in the first place? We've literally had Russian mercenaries attack US forces previously in other countries, where was the fear of escalation then? Give Ukraine whatever aid they need and stop kneecapping their war effort by trying to micro-manage it.
Why? Because the elections are close.
This is not a big deal. The soon to be delivered F-16s will need repairs.
Meanwhile, North Korea just stated that they will be sending troops to the Donbas
Amazingly generous of Kim to allow all of those soldiers to defect like that.
