The Russian dictator has bent the world, including the United States, to his vision.

yep. all it took was some brainwashed rednecks and a metric fuckton of apathy
I think Putin’s push is a direct result of US and UK just straight up ignoring the cooperation of the UN Security Council in 2001.
Against the entire world wishes, votes and resolutions passed in the UN…
The US and UK straight up ignored it all and invaded a sovereign nation.
Once that precedent was established, and it was obvious the decorum of the UN Security Council wasn’t going to be respected, Russia and China changed gears…
When they realized that any buffoon (Bush) could one day just be put in charge of the US and decide to invade another country and nothing would stop them, they started preparing long term.
This is exactly it. Once it became clear it was “rules for thee and not for me” the gears were set in motion.
The gears were set in motion much sooner. The plan to destabilize the US from within using hybrid means seemes to have been there since Khrushchev and it got a lot of traction by the end of the 90s with publication of The Foundations of Geopolitics.
I’m not even sure if brainwashed is the right term since it’s clearly a deep anti-intellectualism coupled with deep resentment of established society. They have been voting for this kind of thing in the USA long before Putin got his disinformation machine involved.
You kind of need a brain to have washed and “you’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.”
i figured that machine started running shortly after nixon
You’re correct. Roger Ailes and Fox News are the primary actors: https://www.vox.com/2017/5/19/15660888/roger-ailes-america-trump-television-fox-news
That’s a very good article.
That’s a take that ignores the history of the Soviet Union, it’s collapse in 1991, and Russia’s embrace of capitalism and oligarchy after that. Putin himself didn’t even come into direct power until 1999.
We can thank those who support the disparity in wealth for that one.
Metric? You mean IMPERIAL 🦅🇺🇸🔫
You’ll use whatever Vlad tells Trump to tell you to use.
