Scrolling through Facebook, a friend I know with a prestigious job at an INGO just unironically posted a "news story" from a DC think tank about how Russian forces are planning on stealing Ukrainian children to demoralize Ukrainian forces. The think tank is funded by defense contractors and you can read on the goddamn Wikipedia page that they advocate for increased military presence in foreign conflicts. How do you post anything like that and get to remain a serious person?
