Second highest post on Reddit politics right now talking about how Matt Gaetz was spouting CCP propaganda in congress.

Short version: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M3pWEIG4UrE

Now Gaetz is a piece of shit, but he's not wrong about this. Of course the US funded and is funding Azov.

American racism against China makes them immediately discredit this true reporting. Does no one have any recollection of anything like this: https://thehill.com/policy/defense/380483-congress-bans-arms-to-controversial-ukrainian-militia-linked-to-neo-nazis/ It's all well documented. I guess Gaetz could have picked a different source if he wanted to land some epic point against Biden or whatever, but this is such a blatant example of how racists can be led around by the nose. Anything the enemy says can be immediately discredited.

Lately it feels like we're just waiting around for :posadist-nuke:

    I’ve been looking through articles about this from a bunch of different news sites and not a single one of the will link to the Global Times article that gaetz cited. I guarantee you that the Global Times is reporting western sources but Americans will scream cHinA pRoPaGaNdA even if Radio Free ___ is being cited in the bad country newspaper.

    Love being immediately downvoted for pointing this out and including the global times article to prove it

        btw searching for this was a fuck. every western source has headlines that read "Matt Gaetz cites newspaper that the US Govt has determined is PROPAGANDA" instead of addressing the content of the allegations. pathetic. US delenda est

          Voice of America is Chinese propaganda now. I was being hyperbolic when I said radio free but it’s exactly that

      I love the guy who thinks that reporting what a Chinese official said when asked for a quote is "Chinese propaganda"

    Every person I've ever met, except explicit leftists, eventually says a racist slur and means it in a racist way. Sometimes they do it in 30 seconds, sometimes I have to know them for 5 years, but it always slips out eventually. Death to America.
