    My own, completely unfounded, conspiracy theory is that the assassination of Charlie Kirk was to distract the US from yesterday’s Russian drone attack on a NATO ally.

      The Russian drones were cardboard decoy drones. The propaganda must go real hard if you think that’s starting ww3.

        Cardboard managed to do this to a house, huh?

        Even Belarus has claimed that these drones were bound for Ukraine, but apparently had their radar navigation jammed.

        Look around you, just between Russian and Israeli actions alone, we are quickly descending into a global conflict already.

        My entire conspiracy theory is that Charlie Kirk was shot in order to focus US attention fixed on internal issues, in order for their global soft power to continue to crumble while the rest of the world descends into madness.

        It’s in the same vein as the DNC emails leaking straight after Trump’s “Grab them by the pussy” tape was released, completely taking over the news cycle.

        If I had a nickel every time something politically expedient happened to derail the press, I’d have two nickels - which isn’t much, but it’s strange that it’s happened twice to the same guy.

          FYI apparently that damage was actually caused by an air-to-air missile (which a safety device fortunately prevented from detonating) fired by a Polish F-16.

          See here for details.

        I haven’t seen the news reporting that. Is that reporting in another language or something?

      Yeah sure. Not from the USA openly supporting Israel in attacking yet another country in support of their Holocaust. It has to be to distract from drones flying over Poland.

      Nothing has enabled the right wing to do whatever they like more than the liberal hyper-fixation on Russia.
