    What’s funny, in a morbid way, is that many of these tools don’t even realize Russians helped their uplifting not because they like them, but because they see their potential for polarizing Western society and driving it into conflict with itself.

      It’s still crazy to me that nothing came from the Mueller report. Trump’s campaign was being driven by the Russians because him being president would harm America.

      And his supporters didn’t see anything wrong with that.

      I’m sure a great majority are more morally inept than twisted and unethical. One wishes only that our politicians did not for so long refuse the evidence of their senses with regard to Russia. Even Obama and Clinton thought the Kremlin would come around to their way of doing things in time.

        Well. 2019 Zelensky believed he could look Putin in the eyes and make him stop the killing in Donbass. 🌚

        But also… That Western idea from 90’s that authoritarian regimes will democratize upon being introduced to free market is making me wanna cry.
