The photo of Le Pen shaking hands with Putin as if it’s anything other than unfortunate timing.

Isn’t her party allegedly financed by Russian banks? Maybe I’m talking rubbish here, but I think I remember something like that being part of the debate.

Sort of depends on the levels of shithousery.

No surprise really, extreme left and right loop back on each other.
Wagenknecht has always been a Stasi-Braut.

This is really not fair for the Russian Sporting Associations and the Russian Athletes unless they are directly funded by Putin and his cronies?
Of course. But it’s essentially the same statement. Starting to wonder if they are not copying off each other, but rather copying from somewhere else. Which wouldn’t be a total surprise either, but to tweet almost simultaneously essentially the same statement…new level…

Are they not?
While the sad truth is, Abramovich is ingrained with Kremlin and one of the enablers of Putin.

@anon27364116 @Bekloppt would you give a summery please.
Whilst it seems harsh, they have a choice - stand up and make sure they voices be counted otherwise it is a case of tough shit!

what about the ROC? doesn’t it make you wonder if Putin waited until the Beijing Olympics were over before starting the invasion? almost to the day…
It is also not fair that innocent Ukrainians are dying and their country is being completely bombed. It is war, nothing about this is fair!

Presidential candidate of the far right AfD and maybe the most prominent member of Die Linke (The Left) making almost simultaneuously essentially a carbon copy twitter statement on Putin/Russia, urging the Ukraine (and I guess the West) to give in on Putin’s demands. The similarities of the statements are absolutely striking. The surprise is not the basic position, we know that both are in Putin’s pockets, certainly ideologically, but it’s not far fetched to think that they are both just lazily translating the same propaganda statement.

Haven’t seen the analytics yet, but saw this comment:
“Funny how once Russian troll farms have to pivot to shitposting disinformation about the Ukraine, all the tweets about Trudeau being a fascist suddenly disappear not to mention that truckers are pretty much a non-entity now.”
Estimates that up to half of the content generated was coming from Russia.

More than timing. The shaking of hands is what it is, he is a head of state. Putting it in your campaign flyer is something else entirely.

Depends on the context in which it appears, doesn’t it?
So the drain on Russian resources already extends to trolls and bots? 
That was quick.

The context is a campaign flyer, making the case for her as President by showing her shaking hands with Putin. If it wasn’t problematic, they would not be shredding it.
