[@RobBCactive]

Hindsight is 20-20 vision, but Putin opportunisticly aided the rise of neo-fascist authoritarian politicians and populist policies benefitting Russia. In France they explicitly borrowed money for campaign funding, in Britain Brexit sold as a supposedly patriotic idea also has links with Russia. Now the Brexit PM is comprised by favours to/from an oligarch with a KGB father. Naturally the useful fools who follow these movements will be the last to realise. They gained traction as a result of issues unaddressed and ignored by the commerce centred politics.

[@frusia123]

Yes. And even when the peace talks succeed (I pray) and Putin backs off, we mustn't let our guard down, and should expect vengeance, even if it won't be wide in the open, but some sort of terrorism under a false flag (Putin has been supporting Talibans in Afghanistan)

[@patrickskramstad1485]

When I was 19 or so. I decided to read a book called "the art of war." I was amazed by this book. At the time, because the book had no copyright because it's 2500 years old or so, I wanted to make an audio recording of it. This was around 2003-04 maybe. The internet where I lived was barely accessable, but I wanted to be prepared for it. Because I was 19, I could not get any good takes/attempts at reading the book in a manner where I could be proud to release it. You can imagine how familiar I became with the book after many attempts at reading properly. When Putin gave a speech about Crimea he used the phrase, "I will take Crimea without firing a single shot." My ears sharpened. I remember that phrase. But it wasn't exactly that phrase. The phrase I remember was, "A great general would be able to conquer a territory without firing a single.. arrow." If you study"the art of war" long enough you can learn clever, creative tactics. "The art of War" is written in a vague manner. For example, the book states suggestions like, "all war is based off of deception. If you are many convince the opponent that you are few." The author of "the art of war" lets the reader to come up with the plan of "how" - how to convince the opponent that you are few rather than many. Like I said it's a fascinating book. As I shared before, "all war is based on deception... And a great general can conquer a territory without firing a single shot/arrow." So "how" can one accomplish this? "How do you fight without fighting?" To elaborate how do you fight an opponent without sending troops/soldiers. One "way" is through "deception." Deceive people in the territory that you wish to conquer, tell them that their leadership is corrupt/evil/pedophile/devil worshippers and convince them their news is false or *fake* therefore, as the deceiver, you can manipulate a captured portion of the population in the territory that you wish to conquer to fight their own government using .... Deceptions/propaganda/ disinformation/ misinformation When you tell people the news is fake and they believe it, you become the source of truth. As the new source of truth, you can give whichever information you want them to know. If you want people to buy only X brand of coffee, you can do it and get a cut of the profits and maybe fees. If you convince them so and so is enemy#1 they believe it. *Basically as the source of truth, you can manipulate/mold their minds to believe whatever you want.* If you want people to attack the capital, you give them *information* that inspires them to do so.

They have preyed on every weakness America has and poured salt into wounds. And our own #45 was there to help every step of the way. I'm sickened by it. Trump brought to the forefront the era of "fake news" he repeated lies everytime he opened his mouth. More than we could keep up with. I don't believe he would have been elected without Putins help. He didn't win the popular vote he won due to electoral vote which is very screwed up and the whole DNC wiki leaks thing. But people were already primed & ready to drink all the Kool-aid, that's what 15 yrs of hard core propaganda attacks do to people. They no longer can tell up from down. Not all of us however.

He’s providing us with first hand insight. It’s valuable to the public. Also, his Gus Hall vote while he was a college junior was a protests vote, as it was during Watergate and Brennan was disillusioned with the system.

What actually happened is that a uncontrolled group broke into the DNC headquarters when it was clear Nixon was going to win in a landslide victory. The CIA had infiltrators in the White House who convinced Nixon to cover up the crime. Nixon had no knowledge of the break in previously and there was no need for a break in. It was an operation to remove a president who signed the SALT treaties and ended the Vietnam war. Any president that tries to end any war is targeted. That's why Trump is targeted. So if this dirtbag voted as a protest vote against corruption, he's part of the corruption now. This man's job is to provoke wars. Find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet?

My current perspective is that Putin's approach was to stress test every aspect of American politics, and election processes. Any and every potential points of weakness were identified, and so far very few levers have been lightly touched/exploited in hopes of being discreet or undiscovered, for future use, and also to have other methods available for future use. This is a multi-generational apparatus loosely designed to upset/offset for the purpose of creating and maintaining an America that is friendly-ish, overall allowing him and any future generations of fulfilling a dream of a world dominant Russia.
