Right now you are feeling exactly like the propagandists want you to feel. It’s ok, it’s easy to fall for their traps, they are professionals at swaying public minds. Ever heard of this merchant of death before? Like before the griner thing?

Nope. I don't "feel" this, just typing, clickety click, into this reddit interface. Yes, heard of him a couple times over the years. I'm not... young anymore lol.

Do some digging on your marine hero too while you’re at it. Let’s make sure we know all the variables. All the context and nuance.
Or we can keep armchair political prisoner swapping if you’d like.

WNBA is garbage. Sick of ESPN trying to force feed it to the public when it’s a bad product all around.

Meanwhile Viktor Bout aka merchant of death is back home laughing while a US marine serving his country rots in a Russian prison. Fuck everything about this.
