Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don't read tankie rags and as that's all you have, you're lying.
Nope even the UN Envoy that stated the viagra nonsense backtracked when confronted and stated this:
“No, no, no. And I don’t — like I said, it’s not my role to go and investigate. I sit in New York, in an office in New York, and I have an advocacy — and I have an advocacy mandate. My role is not to investigate.”
I also don’t support tanks rolling down Hungarian roads in 1956.
That's not backing down
It is. Especially when she continued and stated this:
“In their reports so far, there’s nothing about Viagra.”
The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) indeed made zero reference to Viagra in its reports on Russo-Ukrainian conflict.
Again this nonsense dates back to 2011 Libya.
Wasn't it the phone conversation between the Russian soldier and his wife which was intercepted? The same one where the wife told her husband to rape the Ukrainian women, she encouraged him, but told him to use a condom and not to forget the viagra. Such a good wife. I guess she already knew his dick didn't work and he'd need the Viagra so he wouldn't be sent to the rape battalion. Maybe she packed the viagra for him and not Putin?
Question : do Russians have to drink vodka? Is sobriety one of the crimes for which the punishment is rape, for a man? So then the Viagra is necessary and the state provides?
A rather terrible scandal, albeit viagra wasn’t at all mentioned in the intercepted conversation.
