In a break from the past, the U.S. and its allies are increasingly revealing their intelligence findings as they confront Russian preparations for a possible invasion of Ukraine, looking to undercut Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plans by exposing them and deflecting his efforts to shape world opinion.
The White House in recent weeks publicized what it said was a developing Russian “false-flag” operation to create pretext for an invasion. Britain named specific Ukrainians it accused of having ties to Russian intelligence officers plotting to overthrow President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The U.S. also released a map of Russian military positions and detailed how officials believe Russia will try to attack Ukraine with as many as 175,000 troops.
I gotta admit...this ridiculous need for updating cartoons and mascots is just stupid and not something that really needs to be done right now. It is funny to watch the Right go nuts about it, but it is doing us no favors. This stuff is just silly.
I am not against it, but I think it adds more fuel to a fire we can't really afford right now. And honestly no LGBTQ+ person I know is worried about Minnie Mouse or how the Green M&M looks slutty or that Mr. Potato Head has that pronoun. This is the type of stuff even liberals make fun of other liberals for. Hell it sounds like something the principal on Community would do ;^)
I am 100% for better representation across all media, I am just thinking we have bigger fish to fry than Minnie Mouse and her pants.
To me this stinks of people trying to make a name for themselves with a cause, not really about truly caring about the issue. Like when they push to use LatinX even though that group abhors the term. Seems like CIS White People trying to prove they aren't as bad as other CIS White People.
Doesn't affect me though so whatever works.
