    They don’t know if the US is lying or not because trust in the US is at an all time low.

    Yup.

    I wonder why.

    Oh right because the US commander-in-queef is a Russian shill because Russia managed to influence the US enough to make the whole country cognitively challenged through environmental lead (more of an accident than anything purposefully neurotoxic but anyway) and the destruction of the US education system.

      Trump and the US’s current target is the Soviet oil reserves as it has been from day one. The conflict in Ukraine was a result of Western oil companies trying to meddle with Soviet Era oil blocs in the Black sea, a fight that is still ongoing today. The US already controls Arabian oil, not Iran’s, and if they can successfully replace Iran’s government with a puppet, then it will be easier to break into the Soviet Union from the Southern Asia boarders.

        Sure yeah I. Don’t disagree too much with anything you’ve said there.

        I just think Trumps skills at war is less than Putin’s skill at spycraft.

      Wait, do people really believe that Trump is the culmination of a 70 year Soviet and Russian campaign, and all of America’s mistakes leading up to today are the result of this? Seems a little far-fetched imo

        Culmination? Nah. Just a step in a game.

        But yeah, Trump is very clearly a Russian shill. Where have you been living for the past 10 years?

        It’s so obvious that anyone actually arguing Trump isn’t a Russian shill is almost definitely a Russian shill themselves.

      Once again posting this chart because when you realize which age group has the most enthusiastic Trump supporters, and you recognize the correlation between their behavior habits and the neuropsychological symptoms of lead poisoning during childhood development, everything starts to make way more sense.

      Huh. I haven’t seen a picture of Khrushchev recently, but I rewatched Enemy at the Gates the other day, and I guess Bob Hoskins did a surprisingly accurate portrayal (with kudos to the makeup department, too).

        Huh. I haven’t seen Enemy at the Gates in a long time, guess I should rewatch.

        But yeah I post that pic pretty frequently on Lemmy weird you haven’t seen it before but I guess Fediverse is wider than I think.
