Showing the same pictures over and over again. There's been 3 or 4 different versions of the Putin speech. I think they're very wary of using any footage that they haven't verified. Social media was flooded earlier with old footage, and accidental disinformation doesn't help anyone at times like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read up that Finland are also not a NATO member (along, surprisingly with Sweden, Ireland, Austria, Cyprus and Switzerland)……… Can imagine Finland are getting uncomfortable in particular of course.

maqroll Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Republicans flapping all over the place trying to get their narratives straight.

There’s a lot going on but now is NOT the time for this take if you know what’s going on in Texas. It matters when it’s the thin end of the wedge for people who don’t want you to exist. not trying to derail the conversation, I have only read up to this point without contributing as I don’t have enough of a grasp on the situation to feel I could contribute so I’m just reading and learning.
