If I had to count the amount of times Lemmygraders decided to follow Brian Berletic more than they should

I would count two times

One, regarding Philippines, recently

baffled_and_aghast decided to indicate it was in our interests to critically support pro-US Bongbong Marcos, out of mere idealism and contrarianism to potential color revolution from left libs like Leni Robredo (they suck too but I don't see a meaningful difference between her and Bongbong Marcos who's practically liberal) and just NGOs like Tindig

Two, and I think you remember, regarding Cambodia-Thailand

Comprehensive49 was trying to argue that Cambodia was pro-US because their economy was dependent on exports to US (never mind China doing the same)

What you're saying sounds reasonable. I have to be fair and admit that I don't know anything about the Philippines nor the Thai-Cambodia conflict. I just wish that Berletic had the same humility, there's no way that he has enough depth of knowledge to judge so many countries' political turmoil so succinctly. Everything he does seems to come from Google searches.
