I hate when they call Russia "The Kremlin".

It's just propaganda to try and paint the government as not representing the views of the people.

It sounds like "Gremlin", so the liberals like it because it's spooky.

They just mean that Kremlin (the entire fortress) is sentient and slowly moving with millions of small tentacles through Ukraine crushing everything on its path.

Putin's Moving Castle

Its odd. While speaking of Moscow, Kiev, Warsaw, Washington or Paris is common as an alias for the country itself, "Kremlin" is weird. A kremlin is a fortified complex. You have a kreml in Nowgorord, Smolensk etc. Just historic buildings.

If we're being neutral, they can use "Kremlin" in any headlines that they would put the "White House".

The White House is close to crushing Gaza

Yeah, I think it's self-explanatory why this is a bad title

It's mainly a museum!
