The drop off was caused by leftist media and the leftist establishment calling it racist, not because of much of an uptick in racists using it. Of course Katy Perry isn't going to use it once Hillary calls it deplorable. Wendy's isn't going to use it once the Twitter mob is given their marching orders to attack it. It has little to nothing to do with actual racists than the establishment denouncing it, because people still swallow that shit up.

Oddly, enough, Taylor Swift has yet to be declared appropriated by white supremacists.
Man, that frog is (and has been) all over /pol/ and /the_donald for months, used in the exact same way as it was originally (baselessly?) claimed. It's hilarious that it began as a prank and Pepe as an Alt-Right Icon was essentially willed into existence.

can we start a movement for some equally strange animal-image-association thing?

How about: Percy the Athiest Puffin.

Damn that puffin! Every time I see him, he challenges my orthodox Druze belief system!

A little perspective is probably needed right now:

The US has 800 military bases in 70 countries. Russia has about 12.

Russia's military spending is about 12% of the US's.

The US has 10 aircraft carriers. Russia has 1.

Crimea was Russian when the US was still well east of the Mississippi.

There are 28 member states of NATO, an alliance purpose built for war with Russia. 5 of them border Russia. Explain to me again why NATO continued to exist after the Cold War?

ok, how the fuck did I search for the word "russia" and this thread didn't come up? thanks for the bump.

Seems pretty well thought out, but I'm not steeped in the info to know better or worse. Thoughts from those who pay closer attention to this?
Putin is hanging on for dear life but do NOT underestimate him. He maintains power at the moment because a) he has destroyed ALL possible rivals (simply- there is no one to follow him which is actually really REALLY bad as you do not want to imagine what would happen if he suddenly died; it would be way worse than now) and b) the factions behind him are busy at war with one another for cash/power.
this is what I've thought for a little while now
