    Sensationalist Headline. But, also an article about a sensationalist Russian mouthpiece for the government. Misleading in anycase. Russia will say things like “we’re in conflict” “NATO is already at war with us” then threaten war if the Poles shoot down Russian Warplanes brazenly violating their air space.

    Maybe I misunderstand, but I think that headline is pretty obviously sarcasm.
    They are making fun of Russia constantly claiming NATO has declared war on Russia.
    So I am honestly a bit confused why this is downvoted? I guess people don’t get the sarcasm, or maybe I’m missing something?

    Yes the headline was changed “editorialized” by OP, but in essence it’s the same thing.

      Saying “you’re trying to kick my ass” is crucially different from “i’m going to kick your ass”

      If there’s any sarcasm in the title I can’t find it.

        Works fine on Firefox here, also Chrome is Google’s attempt at controlling advertisement on the internet, so I wouldn’t recommend anybody using that.

        Works fine for me on Firefox. No agent spoofing either.

        Either way, it’s the Daily Express saying:

        Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov declared NATO and the EU are now “at war” with Moscow

        So, no. Not a declaration of war, simply Russia being a fucktard again.

    Is anyone else getting a comically irrelevant video called “Russian Army vs Europe Combined: A Realistic Military Scenario” from “Binkov’s Battlegrounds” as part of the article (this is with UBO on desktop with a high level of customization)?

    This is a very stupid article (in terms of title/framing and content).
