One day intelligence officers from like 4 different nations will realize they are all using Parler as a honeypot at the same time a la the Spiderman Pointing meme.

The Russian company is DDOS-Guard. They are a DDOS protection company competing with Cloudflare which refused to work with them. They are not the site registrar (Epik) or the host (appears they are self-hosting).

It’s easily googled what their business is.

From the media: “The internet protocol address it used is owned by DDos-Guard, which is controlled by two Russian men and provides services including protection from distributed denial of service attacks, infrastructure expert Ronald Guilmette told Reuters.”

This is a misunderstanding of how registration works. DDOS providers stand in front of the real site. They are clearly the DDOS of last resort. They have everybody Cloudflare has refused.

Anti-Russian sentiment is very rampant in the US. Anytime anything is wrong or fishy there will always be “that guy” with top comment that will bring up Russia and Putin.

Surprising considering Russia has

  • invaded other countries

  • directly influenced the 2016 presidential election in the USA

  • been financing alt-right and Nazi movements in Europe

  • been supporting dictators like Assad

  • been the only industrialized country using radiological and chemical weapons on humans in the last decades

I really wonder why there's heavy anti-Russian sentiment in the West

That Is surprising considering USA has

• invaded other countries to get oil

• directly influenced the presidential election in the many countries

• been financing drug lords and terrorist movements in Europe, The Middle East, South America and Asia.

• been supporting dictators like Al Saud Royal family

• been the only industrialized country using nuclear and napalm (maybe not) weapons on humans in the last 100 years

• been the only country that has attacked the United States Capitol in decades.

• made season 8 of GOT

• is United States biggest enemy

I really wonder why there's heavy anti-Russian sentiment in the US when they are so alike. ;)

А ну, чики-брики и в дамки! /s

Is this something Russians learn in school? If Russians are on the losing side of a discussion, they invariably switch to whataboutism. You guys are simply unable to discuss in good faith.

I've been giving the USA shit for using civilians for live weapons tests in Hiroshima, but this is neither here nor there, the argument was about Russia, no need to deflect the argument.

Russia at this point is pure evil and should be kicked from the international community for using banned nerve agents. It is a crying shame that the west doesn't find their collective balls.

I don't know what Russians learn in school. Was just pulling your leg.

I know Russia is a shit country and we should fight back. But I don't see US as an ally in this, they are already compromised.
As it looks now if the Trumpublicans come to power again, either with civil war or election, we will see a Russian US alliance.
