Russian intelligence is operating a systematic program to launder pro-Kremlin propaganda through private relationships between Russian operatives and unwitting US and western targets, according to newly declassified US intelligence.

    Not going to happen because the GOP is likely on their payroll. Makes sense why there’s a “growing discussion” about not funding Ukraine from them .

      Probably, since GOP are greedy sleazeballs with none of Jesus’s empathy for others - but them being in Russia’s pocket is not the only factor. Financially Russia can continue the war for probably another decade without much damage to their economy. Ukraine not so much. Ukraine’s only sustaining its war effort due to international financial assistance and the borrowing’s ballooning their deficit, which they likely will never be able to pay back and will have to default on. There are other factors at play that could damage Russia’s economy, like a drop in workforce, but for now it’s a losing financial bet for any country to keep funding Ukraine’s war effort. Ukraine needs to have some serious progress in retaking its territory within the next year or so and if they do not there’s a good chance the war is over for them.

      I’m merely playing devil’s advocate btw. Republicans and Putin suck.
