When you say Russia, do you mean mark Zuckerberg and elon musk?

"If Russia is blamed for Trump’s election, we avoid the unpleasant reality of our failed democratic institutions and decaying empire. We avoid facing the inevitable rise of a Christianised fascism borne out of widespread impoverishment, rage, despair and abandonment. We avoid acknowledging the complicity of the Democratic Party in the orchestration of the largest social inequality in our nation’s history, the evisceration of our basic civil liberties, endless wars and an electoral system bankrolled by the billionaire class, which is legalised bribery. The myth allows us to believe that Democratic politicians, like the establishment Republicans who have joined them, are the guarantors of a democracy they destroyed.

Our reality is bleak and frightening, especially given the abject refusal by the ruling oligarchs to deal seriously with the climate emergency. We face a precarious future. The monumental task of restoring democracy outside the confines of a broken electoral system and corporate-indentured institutions is daunting and not guaranteed. We stand on the cusp of tyranny. Blaming Vladimir Putin for the rise of an American demagogue — demagogues are always vomited up from dysfunctional political systems — magically makes the existential dilemma disappear."

Chris Hedges

Is there anything you racist liberals won’t try to blame on [insert X ethnicity the US is at war with]. You even blame US racism on “the Russians”.

Your country’s problems are not caused by scary foreigners. You are falling for the oldest trick in the book.

Trying to normalize relations with Russia is a purely geostrategic move with the end goal of weakening BRICS

Gosh darn if only Democrats were in power from 2020 to 2024 to proscecute that blatant foreign interference!

BlueAnonsense. Russiagate was a hoax. The US’s problems are coming from inside the house.
