I think the messaging is very clear: furthering Putin's agenda of affecting the destruction of the US as a collaborative international force for "good"; hiding the shit these feckless traitors will all hang for when their incompetence catches up with them.

Ahkshually those are F35s, but the Yemen attacks were conducted with F18s.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

It isn't mixed messages. It isn't even hypocrisy. It is so very far beyond that. There is no inconsistent morality or ideals to depart from. Words, categories, definitions... these things mean what they need them to mean in the moment. Whatever serves their interests becomes the reality they pretend exists.

Do I suffer when I offend people with my speech? Respect the first amendment! Free speech! Government oppression! Tyranny! Anti-American!

Do I suffer when someone else says it? Well, that's hate speech. Damages our children. It's basically a call to violence - terrorism really, when you get right down to it. Anti-American!

Name a value and I promise you they'll flip on a dime given the right situation.

2nd amendment? Not if minorities start carrying! Freedom of religion? Only as long as it's their religion... Every life is sacred? Nah, only the lives they care about, like cute little white babies.

Nothing means anything anymore and that's just how they like it.

I agree with everything you said, except the part about babies. They do not care about babies, they care about fetuses, and only fetuses that the mother is considering not carrying to term.
