To be fair, Offutt AFB, Nebraska is infested with Neo Nazis and tons of corruption and crime. How the hell else do you explain the B-2 bomber program?

honestly it’s this kind of shit that makes me think that a Trump presidency would have resulted in a swifter end to the war. Obviously the media wouldn’t have been against it, but they wouldn’t have been such direct mouthpieces for the pentagon.

Joke’s on you, I spent the 90s strapped to a chair with my eyes toothpicked open and “Yakko’s Countries of the World” playing on repeat on VHS in front of me.

My guess is they thought “well, if the government and media care about Ukraine so much, it must be close to the US”

And this is probably one of the few times they’ve even looked at a map and considered where other countries are located.
