It’s true, but not how they’re portraying it.

Israel is absolutely committing genocide.

Russian propagandists are highlighting it every time Biden’s name is mentioned to convince Democrats to abstain from voting.

It’s been the Republican play forever. They don’t need to convince you that Trump is good, just that Biden doesn’t deserve your vote. That’s enough for Trump to win.

They love using Stein, Gabbard, Greenwald to wedge-drive as well.

They also keep on stoking Bernie Sanders as an excuse to not vote, while managing to marginalize or dismiss Bernie's own words of urgency that the right-wing/republicans represent a clear and present danger, that one's unmistakeable civic duty is to register to vote, and cast that vote for Biden/Democrats in November.

They did it in '16, tried it in '20, are still doing it. Pointing at Bernie, while keeping his voice on "mute".

There is also their classic:

Nazis are not that bad, but we also have to exterminate the Ukrainians because they are Nazis.

Both narratives are pushed, but to different crowds. Division is the goal, most certainly not telling a straight story.

damn, i wonder how america could throw a wrench in the plans of alleged russian disinformation campaigns that focus on biden's active support and denial of genocide?

perhaps biden could stop sending weapons and stop denying the genocide?

The fact that this exists and they werent Inglourious Basterds tells me Russia is winning.

This meme is on another level of reverse psychology (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

And here I thought Russia instigated the conflict for shit and giggles. Who would have thought Putin was capable of something like this?

I haven't seen anything like what is portrayed in the image. Maybe it's a Facebook thing?

I'm thinking something more like alcoholic-pregnancy victims with atrocious teeth, wearing fake chinese Adidas, getting paid vodka and meth wages as they mindlessly try and drag the world down to their septic tank level of existence.
