    Is the USAmerican case being extrapolated?
    Similar to how the Democrats and Republicans are not relevant and Trump is USAmerica?

    Anyway, if that's the case for both, then it's pretty bad.

    except he is not trying to do that at all i mean it would be more accurate to say he is trying to restore the Russian empire that would be closer to accurate at least but not really that accurate either.

    He's a hyper capitalist russian nationalist trying to expand his power and strengthen his position and maybe views it not as "his" but '"russian" power and position his thoughts don't matter. That's really nothing to do with soviet ideals or aesthetics other than a general nostalgia for being relevant he purposely denies soviet ideals any chance he has.

    For one, that it wasn’t much money at all and had no appreciable effect. Meanwhile the US spends billions on propaganda around the world each year, so much that no other country compares. And domestically, almost all of the influence comes from US corporations and wealthy Americans.

    That had me stumped. We know the Russian budget for domestic media and narratives, it is not a small one, is that argument that somehow domestic government sanctioned propaganda is somehow better than a kleptocratic one?

    Domestically as in within the US. Americans aren’t being influenced by spooky foreigner actors on the other side of the world. It’s coming from inside the house.
