Dog diplomacy: Almost as cute as panda power.

The dogs are more cuddleable. But the pandas look more hug shaped.

Excellent Mango Mussolini impression.

I’d watch this. Gotta be better than the original Red Dawn on the simple premise that it’s not the Soviets I’d be watching lose the war.

Although, I did enjoy Red Dawn for the reasons I enjoy most Cold War era “It Could Happen Here” junk where the Soviets invade America or support a local revolution. Sure, the Soviets lose in the end. But until that happens, it’s fun to watch them gain ground.

Or because you said “sorry” at all. Remember, Americans are often rude for no reason and many don’t seem to have “sorry”, “please” or “thank you” in their vocabularies.

I now need to see these puppies in a cheesy 2000s spy movie, Cats Vs. Dogs meets The Americans. Lol.

Cartoon logic. Pooh Bear does it less and lampshades it more than some older shows, but they do sometimes play it straight.

It absolutely is. It’s one of my favourites. I mean, I really like Winnie the Pooh, period, but yeah that was definitely one of the better ones.

(Not my all time favourite Pooh story, though. That’d be a toss up between either the Heffalump Movie or the Winnie the Pooh Musical - both really fun for little kids and with shockingly good morals for older viewers, the Heffalump Movie is an excellent story about not judging someone before you actually meet them that tackles prejudice really well for a kid show about a talking teddy bear, and the musical… Winnie the Pooh doing a Very Special Episode about authoritarianism, abuse of power, and positions of authority that don’t need to exist is just so incongruous and out of left field, and yet they did it so goddamn well considering Pooh Bear’s typical target audience. I like the Tigger Movie too because I really like Tigger, and Piglet’s Big Movie has some of the best songs in the entire Pooh cinematic universe, but they’re a far third and fourth to those two issue tackling and still utterly hilarious masterpieces.)

In some versions of the cartoon, they pull him out of Rabbit’s door and he goes sailing into the air, only to then get stuck again in a beehive. Which is just so goddamn funny. I love it.

Yep. Americans who talk of “liberty” and “freedom”, and the church men who screamed about the Godless Commies and turned the Cold War into a Crusade to get butts in pews every Sunday, were a bunch of hypocrites during the Cold War and they’re still hypocrites today.

It’d be kinda neat if leftists were to waste Western state propaganda budgets by doing this. And giving them zero new theories to run wild with, just repeat the same tired bovine excrement that even some of the libs are starting to realise is probably fake.

That’s the neat thing about anti imperialist propaganda, you don’t have to make up ridiculous nonsense, you can just… report the fucking news with a cynical tone. And it’ll be accurate if slightly sensationalist or exaggerated today, and bang on or understated decades from now. Most of the old Soviet posters criticizing America are still pretty poignant today…

Yeah. That side of it is just sad and frustrating, the Red Scare type nonsense is at least funny.

Wouldn’t be the first time someone’s asked me or a close friend of mine to get ourselves arrested for a job… not that any of us have ever agreed to do so.

Isn’t that just the most capitalist thing ever!? “I couldn’t find anything bad to say about this foreign country that’s true. But I was being paid to come up with something, so I made something up.”

But to do that, you have to plausibly be a defector, need the right appearance for that, lol.

But yeah, those particular people are pretty obviously just being paid to lie with confidence.

I would also like to know this. I’m a decent writer who’s read a lot of lib nonsense and knows how propaganda articles generally go, there’s not a lot of work out there I could consistently do, but writing this nonsense… yeah, any fool could do that, including me, and people apparently get paid to do it!

Whenever “The Commies” beat America to a medical breakthrough, it’s indeed very fun to watch the Red Scare nonsense spewed by Western media.

That kid looks like toddler me dressed up as Pooh Bear. Adorable.

Good idea!

I’m gonna second this, comrade. I’m freezing and I hate it. Yeah yeah, Soviet Bear this, Siberian grizzlies that, but I don’t actually have the cold tolerance of a real bear. More like a teddy bear. I’d like a comrade who’s actually warm right now to give us bear hugs.

They never bloody do anything and they might as well not exist.
