    Russia is evil, for sure.

    • What do you call what’s going on in Iran?

    • Venezuela?

    • Alligator Alcatraz?

    • “Drug runner” civilian boat airstrikes in the Caribbean?

    • Anything coming out of the supreme court these days?

    • 1.8 billion dollar slush fund for insurrectionists?

    Don’t get me wrong, I think russian interference brought us this administration in some capacity, but the people doing the dirty deeds every day are americans. An illegal order is an illegal order (civilian boat air strikes.)

    Don’t even get me started on domestic surveillance of people who call out these heinous things. The mass cancellation of visas, the near total standstill of green card issuance to anybody other than white south africans…

    To say that a money grab isn’t a huge component of everything out of project 2025 and this administration would be blindingly ignorant. This is costing people lives all over the world, and it would from JUST USAID going away.

    I’m really glad that the EU is going away from US tech, even though that means i’m less likely to have a job in a few years as a tech worker. I think we’re going to see a lot less US centric world politics in the coming decades. Also pretty awesome that ukraine is being so successful now despite current administration interference / collusion.

      Yeah, a russian propaganda bot. Classic playbook of posting correct criticism of the USA in the wrong place. Trumps USA is, of course, not a great country. But we are talking about Russia here. Do not try to steer the discussion about Putins crimes into one about the USA and Trump.
