Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Putin conducts election interference as concerns of Putin's election interference grow. Yup, sounds about right.

That ridiculous, Trump is the best useful idiot he has. If Putin is saying he prefers Harris it's only to take advantage of his infamous status and get people not to vote for Harris.

He's literally trolling. Chaos in the West in any form only benefits Putin.

We should troll him back, tell Ukraine they can fire wherever they want.

It's just a prank, bro!

He's trying to get Trump riled up, which would make him even more chaotic and frantic. This is a tactic to get under the skin of his most useful idiot. Putin knows he could reel him back in with a word.

Man known for frequently telling lies and inciting division in other countries, tells lies and incites division in other countries. Shocking.

Just setting up plausible deniability against accusations of helping trump.

I would be so happy if the next thing that dies from Trump's touch is Putin.

Alright so if I was the leader of a country and looking at my enemy country’s election I would consider saying I support someone who I don’t want to be in office so that people vote for the person I do like. But then again maybe I would know that people would know that so I would choose to support the opposite person instead. But then I think to myself “they probably know that I would know that they know I know what they know. And knowing is half the battle.” And realize G I Joe might just fuck himself up regardless of who I pick so I just choose a side and laugh about it because it doesn’t matter who I choose, only that I’m saying something to fuck with that entire country.

G.I. JOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
