Ah yes, the infamous Russian disinformation trope. They really did a number on you people since 2016.

One of a few sensible comments in a sea of delusion.

That's not how geopolitics work.

You seem to think it's justified.

I'm willing to bet you haven't been to a single one of these countries.

Mostly because they are not allies. They are contractors on a leash.

Europe is occupied by the US, so yeah.

He isn't wrong.

Sounds about right.

It looks like it's both. But either way, it's not that extraordinary.

The torrent of comments smearing Aaron and his work as drivel is indicative of how incredibly effective the Russiagate media spectacle really was. Americans are so thoroughly propagandized, so lavishly disinformed and lied to that they actually think the interests of the security state are THEIR interests.

Amen.

It's not the nature of change, it's the nature of capitalism.

This comment of yours however does smack of that run of the mill American xenophobia, "all it takes is a few YouTube searches to witness the level of violence that exists in Russia that far exceeds anything you'll see in the US. Russia really is something else in that regard." All it takes is a few YouTube searches to find some really fucked up footage of cops violating Americans' rights every day.
