Where did the bug eating talk start? I've not been offered any bugs since those grasshopper candies from Archie McPhee when I was a kid. Is it another dog whistle thing?

It's a far right conspiracy theory, that OP's trying to tie to legit criticism of the CIA's atrocities despite having nothing to do with each other-- all in order to try to hide the fact that it's literally part of the Great Replacement conspiracy.

I love those. Another good one is listing:

  • Vietnam
  • Afghanistan
  • Iraq
  • Ukraine

And saying something ironically, like "this time it will be different."

They are purposefully hiding one tiny bit of detail thought, that Ukrainian war was started and is being fought by Russia not the US.
