    Forbes dropping bombs.

    Ukrainian brigades are starving for artillery ammunition—ironically because of Russia-aligned Republican lawmakers in the United States.

      Yeah, I was going to comment on this, but you were faster. This is the first time that I’ve noticed a major media outlet connecting Republicans with Russia. So it’s an open secret now?

        It’s the first time I’ve noticed a major non-liberal media outlet pointedly connecting Republicans with Russia. Which is a pretty big deal tbh.

        Hasn’t this been an open secret for years? Does no one remember Paul Ryan talking about Russian payola to trump and other Republican traitors back in 2016?

          I can’t believe I’m actually gonna say this, but I miss that guy. He was a bastard, but at least he was a “normal” politician and not some batshit psycho.

          And he retired to run a weed company iirc. wtf.

          The comment is about headlines, not open secrets. I know you read the comment, why did you respond like this?

            I was responding to a comment talking about the open secret of Russian connections to republicans, not about the headline. Are you sure you responded to the right comment?
