The US just gave 40 billion to Argentina which undercuts US farmers, if people are making poster about own-goals today.

Welcome to Iraqi Information Warfare, 2025 election edition.

It's "posturing with propaganda" time again!

Everyone's sources will all push all kinds of narratives ahead of the 11 Nov election results. So now we know that there's a faction hoping for a pro-Kurd pro-US pro-military anti-Shia govt.

I did not have "a serial killer with White House influence kinetically misses the point of Max Manwaring" on my bingo card this year.
