sputnik version of the article RT didnt have any, read this instead if you prefer or read both


Tara Reade is defecting to Russia.

On Tuesday, the former Senate aide who had accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault appeared at a Russian state press conference to make the announcement. Flanked by alleged Russian spy Maria Butina, Reade told the press that she no longer feels safe in America.

“I feel very surrounded by protection and safety,” Reade said. “And I just really so appreciate Maria [Butina] and everyone who’s been giving me that at a time when it’s been very difficult to know if I’m safe or not.”

“You have U.S. and European citizens looking for safe haven here,” Reade continued. “And luckily, the Kremlin is accommodating. So we’re lucky.”

Reade’s defection follows reports of Russia apparently being interested in building a special village outside Moscow meant to serve as a refuge for conservative Americans and Canadians.

“To my Russian brothers and sisters, I’m sorry right now that American elites are choosing to have such an aggressive stance,” Reade said during the conference. “Just know that most American citizens do want to be friends and hope that we can have unity again.”

        "Today, they have 70 genders, it is not known what will happen next,"

        God I hate it when reactionaries manage to conjure forth the funniest fucking ways to say something, its hard to hate someone you're laughing at all the time.

            Placing it carefully into the chart like a new element into the periodic table. "Soon we will develop a meta-stable gender-fluidic zone we have tentatively named Eka-Femme"

          They genuinely don't know what happens next though, because 70 is the highest number they know.

    as a term, "defecting" carries a lot of political baggage

      Yeah. "flanked by spy" also. It's pretty clear what the goal of the press is here.

        If you count picking one baking show and a period drama to obsess about every ten years and then using us an airstrip for torture flights I guess.

    Wonder how Snowden is doing in Russia these days.

    All of this has big "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" vibes. Can't imagine Russia being a first choice for most US political dissents.

        Yeah, it was the least worst choice for a computer guy who was now unhirable in any even remotely US-friendly state even if he could a) reach it safely and b) they didn't have any kind of extradition or chance of it in the future.
