      Actually yes lol. They love giving the craziest Americans air time because it makes us look bad. RT was reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop drama for months for example. And you also have the useful idiots like Caleb Malpin coming on acting as their "American correspondent" when literally no one takes him seriously here. It's pretty funny to be honest, they'll print both left critiques of America being a capitalist nightmare alongside fascist anti-lbgt/SJW stuff. Just totally cynically using whatever they can to stir shit up in the US and make us look like fools. And to be fair, it's not like we need much help in that department.

      Honestly, this feels like a counterpoint to the American "We're going to nuke Three Gorges Dam". Just dipshits blustering at one another endlessly, for ratings, until someone works themselves into enough of a lather to shoot up another school or military base.

      When I was living outside the US my colleagues would occasionally ask me whether or not the unhinged things certain politicians said were true, but I have no idea what they say in Russia.

      If they wanted to help us censor TV Dinner Man, I wouldn't protest.
