The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.

US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.

[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.

[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

    I read the links you posted. Did you? Because it appears that you have misunderstood what these articles are telling you. Nick Paton Walsh wrote a story about (yearly?) military exercises in Norway that US soldiers participate in. The story also includes a discussion about patrols on the Russian border by Norwegian soldiers; the intent appears to be to underline why these exercises are so important. Somehow, you--and, presumably some other Trumpsters--erroneously conflated the two vignettes as meaning that Paton Walsh was reporting that US soldiers were holding their exercises on the Russian border. It appears that you are the one spewing bullshit here.

    Protip: before you go flying off the handle like that, you should really make sure you understand what is being discussed. Otherwise you end up looking like a know-nothing doofus.
