There is so much cope in here Jesus fucking Christ

Literally believes China would be collapsing right now if not for Biden

Thinks Millei is a "superb" president despite poverty skyrocketing under him

Trying to claim Israel's "civilian-death-to-combatant-killed ratio is superior to anything America ever achieved" I mean technically yeah if you consider a massive number of civilians to be "superior"

These articles are always the same, some shrill loser who's never known hardship and would have been stoned to death for being annoying in a pre-industrial society gets to write articles for a living

the onion couldn't write an article this funny if they tried

Axis of Evil

I am 35 years old, and this is the third time in my life I have seen this phrase used and it still lands like a soft creme pie being dropped from a stepladder

It doesn't help that the guy who coined the phrase is one of the greatest monsters of the 21st century who also happens to be extremely lame on a personal level

That article is rich coming from one of the biggest rags in favour of imperialism.

His underlying arrogance has been exacerbated by his deteriorating physical and mental condition. He acts like a blundering, interfering imperial overlord plagued by the shortest of attention spans.

The media pretending they're not running dogs for imperialism is a sick joke. It's always aesthetics with their politics in the West™. Tomorrow we'll see an article about how we should nuke China, actually, because they're evil commies or something.

Isn't the Telegraph's main problem with Joe Biden that he claims to be irish?

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 6 months ago

That and the fact that he's mildly reluctant to start the nuclear holocaust apparently.

America’s 1,000 soldiers in Niger are being expelled, bolstering Russia’s influence in West Africa and trashing US counter-terrorism initiatives in the Sahel.

They buried the lede half-way through the article!

US counter-terrorism initiatives in the Sahel

lenin-sure

Did dude write this for Matt Gaetz to jack off to while eating packages made by his babysitter?

So when Biden loses they'll blame this conservative for talking shit about him, and not just scold leftists while embracing this dickhead, right?

He specialises in betraying America’s friends and rewarding its enemies, in humiliating the West and empowering the Global South

sicko-wistful
