This is Russian humor and sort of the onion from the Russian POV, imo.
“We are ready to facilitate the conclusion of a peace deal between D and E for a reasonable fee and to accept Starlink shares as payment. Don’t fight, guys,” Mendvedev, who currently serves as the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, wrote in a mocking post on the social media platform X with a face screaming in fear emoji on Friday.
Oh yeah, he's absolutely trolling and doing so delightfully.
Something something send Elon back to his shithole country.
Trump's words, not mine!
It's a fake fight. It's meant to distract you from the fact that DOGE is stealing your information and to drive traffic to their respective social media sites. You've been conned...again.
Ehhhh, trump's incredibly successful modus operandi for distraction is to bait the Left into over-reacting etc. Epstein is actually important to a swathe of his voters (as is, I assume the respect of one of the wealthiest men on Earth.)
If trump wanted a distraction, he'd sifn another ED targetting trans folks or somesuch in a way to make the Left freak out so that the fight becomes about that/our over reaction depending on your pov.
Fyi, what's happening in LA is a much more trumpian distraction; it'll suck up all the media oxygen, it's an (possibly the only, if iirc) issue (immigration) on which he not only has overwhelming Republican support but ALSO a net favourable rating with the public overall.
