Russian media today and yesterday evening is full of reports of an ongoing “invasion of Moldova by Ukrainian armed forces”.
It is complete bullshit, of course. The region in question is the so-called “independent Transnistria” which is a proxy quasi-state Russia created in 1992 by placing an army there and effectively stealing land from Moldova.

A ‘national divorce’ would destroy red states. Let’s count the ways.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s proposed “national divorce” would absolutely crush conservative states. #politics

This reminds me of the story of a elderly man in England who was on trial for going 200 mph in his car, and he asked the court to dismiss the charges on the grounds that he does everything fast: he walks fast, he eats fast, he talks fast and he drives fast.
To which the judge responded “Let’s see how fast you will do 6 months in prison”

It’s easier to fool a man than to convince him that he’d been fooled
Remember when before the Internet it was believed that stupidity is caused by a lack of access to information? Yeah, it wasn’t that.
My cat understands that life is too short for any kind of bullshit, so she tries to get as much sleep as possible before going to bed

"We believe that all states formed from empires that have collapsed or retreated have many peoples in them yearning for integration with peoples in neighboring states. This is normal and understandable. After all, who does not want to be joined to their brethren and to make common purpose with them?
However, Kenya rejects such a yearning from being pursued by force...."
