The Russian Invasion of Ukraine, and Russia's hybrid war against NATO in general has an incredible amount to do with why the US is the way it is now.

Not to be the crazy tinfoil hat person. but it's all connected. There is an international crime syndicate laying seige to democratic nations all over "The West" and its very likely the people with the most influence in it, are the same people who call themselves the government of Russia.

It’s connected in that the entire proxy war was manufactured by the same corporatists defunding every aspect of life besides the war machine.

are the same corporatists the ones drawing crayon lines all over Eurasia saying "this is all Russia" and starting wars to make the Crayon lines reality?

Close. Canadian weapons manufacturers are lobbying for continuing the proxy war indefinitely to maintain their profits.

That block button is real easy to use (unless you’re a defense industry astroturfing bot without access to that part of the UI). Let me show you.

Imo, there is a lot more paranoia than substance to this.

What is clear is that there Is no democratic truth that leads to war on Russia being a good idea, and very strong and overwhelming propaganda lies to support this war on Russia.

Factional divisiveness is a problem too easy to just blame on Russia. Your hatred of Russia is no more noble than hatreds of right wing factions.

people can criticise the blaming of many things on Russia, or as Trump and the MAGA faction say, mockingly, "Russia Russia Russia" but it doesnt change the fact that they've been the beneficiary of an increasing numbers of geopolitical 180's from America and certain European countries.

The fact that the Trump Administration is so eager to whitewash and "do business" with them despite the overwhelming amount of human rights violations, war crimes, and crimes against humanity all whilst being on an aggressive nucelar saber rattling posture, is all the proof one needs that there is deep and embedded collusion.
