According to the FSB, the Russian secret service prevented an assasination attempt on the life of Belarus president Loekasjenko.
Two men have been arrested, one is a US citizen.

EDIT: meanwhile, the UK is sending two warships to the black sea in response to the Russian troop build-up at the Ukrainian border.

The country massing troops for an invasion is probably not a reliable source here.

I just posted it here because it involves a US citizen. I guess the UK warship thing should have better gone into the non-EU Russiajew thread

My objection was more along the lines that "This country needs rescuing from their enemies! Luckily we already have a huge force poised to march in to save them!" is one of the oldest tricks in the conquerer's book. Almost as old as the "We must protect the oppressed members of our ethnicity that were left behind when that land was stolen from us" strategy used to justify Russia's previous invasion of Ukraine.

I forgot Toady forces new posters to read all ~2900 pages of Ameripol.

It's the hardest ordeal anyone must go through, reading it all. Just the election alone is a whole bar of sanity damage.

It reads like someone took an existing letter about a different topic entirely and used Find -> Replace to insert "The Ameripol Thread" everywhere.

I'm also a bit lost here....

Generally this is a free-form, mostly semi-structured stream-of-consciousness discussions generally related (sometimes quite loosely) to the arena of US politics.

Is there a bit of mismatched expectation here?

Maybe because ever since Biden took office its been desperate attempts to show how he's no better than Trump and something something both parties and then a lot of people disagreeing.

Admittedly actual repubs don't last long on ameripol, being literally outnumbered and often inherently contrarian/'devil's advocate.'
