    So, you acknowledge that Putin is threatening the US. Well, that’s progress of a sort. (I can play your stupid games too.)

      Oh come on. Death to America. I said Russia threatens shareholders. Properly identify your enemy and what side you’re on. The US isn’t your side even if you live in it. The US is a conglomeration of business interests and military expenditures, it deserves to be threatened.

        It does deserve to be threatened, but not by criminal regimes that share every negative aspect and add so many more. Putin’s Russia doesn’t threaten to overthrow the American oligarchy and put Americans in control, it threatens to strengthen that oligarchy and bend it to Putin’s will. That is absolutely a threat to America, in every possible sense.

            So, it’s crazy to assume that one of the worlds largest influence operations might exert some influence. Yeah, that’s the sensible take. Putin isn’t a comic villain, he’s just a modern crime boss with access to a state level intelligence agency.

              Let’s turn that around: who has the world’s largest influence operation, and what makes you think it hasn’t affected you? Your relationship with propaganda is that of a fish that doesn’t know it’s wet. You genuinely think that the Russian Federation wants to take over America, that’s how a small child thinks lmao

                Let’s turn it around again and look at the country so afraid of a mythical NATO invasion that they invaded a neighboring country and created unimaginable tragedy for nothing. If NATO were threatening Russia, what better time than this moment to invade? Russia has proven it’s military to be a bad joke riddled with corruption and incompetence and embroiled itself in a conflict it can’t resolve, meanwhile NATO is bigger and stronger than ever. Where is the invasion Putin feared so much?

                I got a solid public education, then went on to study philosophy and theology in college at a private university. Then I traveled the world and leaned more. I’m in my fifties now and never stopped learning. Assume what you want about me, but by eyes are open and I’m not child.

                I never said Russia wants to take over America BTW. They want influence, and have not been as unsuccessful as I would like in that endeavor. Your reading comprehension is shit and you might want to work on that.

                  Lol holy shit you should have just lied and said you were like 15, everyone already thought so and it would have been so much more understandable to behave this way in the presence of people who actually know what they’re talking about.

                  So you got an sheltered education in the sheltered imperial core at its peak and then used that blood money to go do a sheltered little tour. That doesn’t make you anymore intelligent that a patron of Disneyland.

                  You are a child. The first step to learning is realising that you know nothing.

                    If you say so, but maybe you would be a little more convincing if you weren’t literally defending Russian imperialism.
