Anyone notice that all the accounts griping about spending money on Ukraine vanished after the US midterm elections?

Russian bots have become so common it's actually just an obnoxious thing like pop up ads you have to avoid. They very much overplayed their hand after their success in 2015-2016. Putin thought he could continue to brainwash the world with stupid social media bots, he failed to gauge the temperature in the room.

If you try talking to a Russian bot, it either responds with nonsense and repeats itself, or it blocks you. 😵

They are still very successful in posting and upvoting any and every video that might incite distrust towards the police in the US.

They’re still on instagram though, not even bot accounts either. Mostly on conservative and republican supporting pages.

I'll still gripe. We're spending money for the military industrial complex to perform live field tests for free.

The U.S. military is getting an update on the effectiveness of current military doctrine.

Do we have money to fix and pay for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security? No, but we have money for bombs all day, every day.
