They’re trying to infantilise the image of US Army personnel who are inherently violent and imperialist. “My smol bean fallen soldier loved legos and milk”.

I had a good look for any sources now but it’s the same media bullshit where every source links back to another article that links back to another article etc. There’s references to videos but I couldn’t find any videos. There’s a reference to a UN investigation but it turns out it was an out of context quote by a UN spokesperson with no actual investigation or even any information from the UN. The more I look into this the more bullshit there is. The quote is published on the website “Business and Human Rights Resource Centre” which is primarily funded by private philanthropists like the Schmidt Family Foundation (set up by the ex CEO of Google Eric Schmidt). It was honestly just a waste of time, I could have just assumed it was made up.

Is there any information about the “African women working in Russian drone factories” mentioned in the article? I read the linked article about it but the only evidence they had was anonymous witness statements and a dubious facebook group with 84 members ran by obvious fake accounts.

Higher crime rates and lower standards of living suppresses wages which in turn makes it more attractive for US businesses to outsource labour to.

Did Russia betray Assad? The way the transfer of power happened so quickly, without resistance and no push back from Russia seems suspicious. Maybe Russia got sick of Assad?

The European liberal thinking pattern: “The communists defeated the Nazis but the communists were also bad” -> “well actually the communists defeated the Nazis but they were just as bad” -> “well actually the Nazis were bad but the communists were worse and it would have been better if the Nazis won” -> “The Nazis were good” -> “we should be Nazis now”.
