I also just saw this. What a travesty.

Putin addressed the warnings a couple weeks later, criticizing the warning three days ago as “provocative.”

Per TASS, the Russian president said on March 19 the aim of “the recent provocative statements of a number of official Western structures about the possibility of terrorist attacks in Russia” was harming Russian society.

“All this resembles outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society,” Putin said, according to state media reporting on his remarks.

Future humanity, if you even exist, please have mercy on us when you look back at this age. 😮‍💨

This is exactly what I was wondering. I was hoping I would be wrong, but damn…

A White House official shared more information Friday evening in a statement reported by multiple outlets.

“Earlier this month, the US government had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow — potentially targeting large gatherings, to include concerts — which prompted the State Department to issue a public advisory to Americans in Russia,” said Adrienne Watson, spokesperson for the White House National Security Council.

“The US government also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding ‘duty to warn’ policy,” Watson said, referring to the US policy in the intelligence community to notify potential victims, regardless of whether or not they are US citizens, of certain credible impending threats

Doesn’t say much good about a person’s god if Donald Trump is their envoy. Of all the people god could send, they chose him… 😏

May all pussies–man, woman, and every gender–be fortunate enough to experience the grab of his glorious, tiny, and orange hand.

Amen.

I remember seeing this warning and then nothing coming out of. It seemed so vague and strange. The atrocities never end. 😖

I wonder what Washington shared with Moscow and how the Kremlin chose to act or not act on that information…

Exactly. Although… the meat industry is a bit far from “nature grown stuff” these days.

I’m genuinely interested in these forms of meat. Perhaps it’s just because I’ve been envisioning this for decades thanks to science fiction.

Absolutely! Presuming, of course, that the sharing of lab grown hamburger patties is a part of that. 😁

Persistently and ever, always nursing the embers of hope, no matter what. It’s a terrible curse that even my most nihilistic moments cannot seem to quash. And I’m probably a smidge mad as a result.

But hey, a whole hell of a lot has changed in my lifetime, for which I’m ever grateful.

Remember, even today’s generation of politicians won’t live forever. Rebellious subgroups of each generation rise.

Who knows, maybe humanity won’t decimate itself and this planet.

The question is simply a matter of how long our race will survive when they finally realize they have to do things different or death is imminent. Everything still feels too far away for most. I’m only for the first time hearing right wing folks believing in human caused global warming. It’ll be too late by the time anything is seriously done.

I only hope that science can make up for our failings and save us from ourselves.

See? There’s that hope again. 🤪

So… simply ignorance…? 🙄

/me wonders if too much eye rolling can cause permanent damage

I laughed pretty hard out loud at this. 😁

Just trying to give an insi, winsi bit of the benefit of the doubt. I mean, I would like to actually be wrong regarding my presumptions. Being wrong would be a good things when it comes to stuff like this. Haha.

Original article is behind a pay wall. Does it happen to mention the reasoning behind such ban legislation attempts? I mean, I can already deduce what they’re trying to protect.

Is safety being used as an excuse? I’m curious if there’s any actual safety or nutritional concern.

And what’s the likelihood of any of these law passing?

/me bites nails

/me thinks, “who will win?”
