Well, the video probably helped…
What % of Americans can spell Yemen and point it on a map?
Are we shitting on ignorance or identifying a media focus on material priorities relevant to Americans?
Why not both?
White People News do be like that.
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.
Cardboard managed to do this to a house, huh?
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?
So, not cardboard and not “decoys”. Just cheap stuff because RU is broke.
No literal cardboard and foam.
I should have been more clear that I object to these being called “decoys” because they are clearly functioning drones, just made out of junk.
All except possibly one of them had no explosives on board.
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.
Conspiracy theories don’t necessarily need to make logical sense, they just need to feel true.
Yes, and to a liberal it will always “feel” true if it some how ties everything back to Russia.

You are on .ml you braindead chud
Worse. With all my filters trying to block the underdeveloped country, my feed is still filled to the brim with this horseshit of a news item… Thanks OP for providing some real news, and those in the comments with links to the articles
Israel assassinated the prime minister of Yemen?
It’s complex in that Yemen is a divided country and they killed the PM of the government that governs the Houthi controlled part of Yemen.
Internationally he would probably be labelled “The leader of the Houthis” because the Houthi government isn’t recognised by most. Conveniently that sounds much more like a terrorist leader.
an Israeli air strike on August 24, 2025 killed the prime minister of the Houthis’ government in the capital, Sanaa (apologies for the AMP link)
The cover of my Aussie states newspaper is shaming me for finding joy in his death. Fuck them, these freedom of speech cunts also want freedom from consequences, unless it’s us using our freedom of speech, THEN they’re all for consequences of actions.
That dipshit fucked around and fuck around and ended up finding out.
Same with the senate voting to block the release of the Epstein files being. The media is glossing over that hard too
Senate Republicans, you mean. Every single Democrat voted in favor of releasing the files. All but two Republicans voted to defend child rapists.
I have faith in peoples ability to use context clues
It also left a great opportunity for someone else to comment and fill in the thinking for other readers. 🫠
Then fill in the rest in your own post and I’m going stick with commenting how I comment. If you can’t use context clues on what I typed then there are bigger issues going on at hand there.
Jeez. They did “fill in the rest in [their] own post”. It was the reply to your post. Replies don’t always mean disagreement. They can build on the point you’re making for the benefit of others.
You should welcome that. You’re acting like a dog barking at anyone that goes past.
A different user did that, the person I replied to didn’t add much whatsoever.
Oops. I forgot the /s
I have faith in peoples ability to use context clues.
You probably shouldn’t, though, is the thing.
The vast majority of people feeling attacked by the shooting probably can’t point to Yemen on a map.
Or a school shooting within their own country. That’s how normal those are.
this is the vastly more important thing IMO, americans aren’t going to care about 99.99999999999% of things happening outside the country, but they should damn well give a fuck about school shootings no matter what.
This is they need to cover up their shit. He was a pawn they willingly sacrificed to that end.
… or the president wanting to call for flying flags at half mast for a youtube personality … rather than for the death of one of the highest state officials in the country (in
MichiganMinnesota Melissa Hortman), including her husband and the attempted killing of a senator and his wife … an event that should have been treated as a major violent political event but was downplayed for the mere fact that it was political opponents.edit: mentioned wrong state Minnesota - not Michigan
in Michigan
Just to clarify, this was in Minnesota, not Michigan.
thanks for the correction - edited my comment to make the change
