The US already has 80k troops there, 3k more isn't some kind of escalation.
Wtf is this comment tree. I have a feeling some of the comments I read are made by russian bots trying to make 3k soldiers seem like a dramatic red line news when so many more notworthy things were done in the past years.
Wouldnt surprise me. Lemmy has no tools to prevent russian bots and propaganda at all. Lemmy doesnt even have Voting contest mode or multi account detection to prevent manipulation
It's no surprise; the Lemmy developers are literally tankies. This instance's name literally ends in .ml (Marxism-Leninism).
Thank you for making explicit something I was wondering about. I noticed the .ml instances have a pro-authoritarian bias and couldn't figure out what that stood for.
