You still reading anti-Semitic websites to find pro-Russian propaganda?
I know that has nothing to do with the post, I just thought I'd throw that out there since you're making obnoxious comments.
Lol..you mean like the Drudge Report?
Drudge cites obscure anti-Semitic conspiracy websites like you've done before? Never seen that.
I have no idea what you’re talking about and could really care less.
Why don’t you go play in traffic..or better yet self deport?
That would be a good mural for the wall of the Rubberstamp, er, Russian Federation assembly.
Of course you don't. I've only been reminding you constantly of it for almost two years. Do you have Nazi Tattoos embedded in your Hammer and Sickle ones?
Lol...you owl worshipers are a hoot!
Post a link or it didn’t happen...
How about instead of going back two years, I just post a holocaust denying article I pulled from the website you just posted in THIS thread?:

Whoopsie
I think ISIS is also made of Saddam’s fedayin and Republican guard. Watch for a revival of the Baath party through IsIs with the help of Russia and China.
Not my problem...
