A Thousand Swedes Ran Through the Weeds, Chased by one American

The Swedes are back this morning. Hi Nightingale Russia, you irony impaired dimwits. We're about 2/3rds done with our Substack article on the brave anonymous anti-Putin warriors based out of Helsinki, Sweden [Finland-Ed]* As promised, it's Nightingale Russia week here at William Stroock dot BlogSpot dot com. As The Critical Drinker says, let's begin, shall we?

Nightingale Russia writes: 

'In a since deleted post Stroock joked Maxim being a Russian spy, ‘We sent our post about Junkpedia [sic] to Maxim our editor at InfoRos in Moscow. He has quite a sense of humor for a KGB agent.’ He obviously had his Russian intelligence services confused...'** 

Let's quote again:

Stroock writes about Maxim a few more times saying in December 2020 that he was writing ‘next week’s KGB column this week’ and in the same paragraph mentioning Maksim again, ‘Maxim, I am rolling’. The paragraph discusses Joe Biden and the ‘China/Dem spy scandal.’ In January 2021, ‘We have a lot on our plate and weren’t planning on colluding with the Russians this week. But Maxim got into bed next to us, put a gentle hand on our shoulder and asked, ‘Honey, are you awake?’ So it looks like we’ll chronicle more of the internal GOP war. It’s nice to be wanted.’ It certainly appears that Stroock is responding to Maksim’s request to write stories about US political events.

They excerpt, but totally miss, our gag about wandering the streets of San Francisco 'looking for American nuclear wessels.' We're not surprised. 

You know, лох, a blog riddled with quips about being compromised by the KGB, compares writing to putting on a slinky black dress, strappy heels and hanging out at the bar, and marinates in ironic self loathing in which the author is berated by an imaginary Liverpudlian editor whom we once fired over MeToo concerns, should probably be read with a certain ironic detachment, чертовски дно.
