The USSR was one of the main reasons why Hitler didn't win, what are you talking about lol

I'll go you one better, and say that Soviet Union is precisely the reason that the Nazis lost WWII. America made it easier by providing a Western front, but the Soviets would have prevailed anyway. But so what? That's totally irrelevant to what RUSSIA was up to 80 years later, LOL. The Russia of the 2020s is a completely different nation than the Soviet Union of the 1940s. It's like comparing modern America to pre-Civil War America.

And I'm not going to play that MAGA Media game, that's nonsense. Gee, the media has biases? I had no idea, thanks for the heads up, I hadn't noticed that over the numerous decades I've spent following it every single day.

my point was that western media has predicted Russian collapsing any minute now for years and it doesn't seem to be the case,

Except they did collapse in 1989, remember? Of course you don't. Nothing occured in the 6.5 billion years before you were born. Except that the Soviet Union stopped Hitler. You were awake for that day in History class.

Valid. I didn't mean that that Russian Oligarchs (Mobsters) were directly taking over America, I meant that they took over Russia, and Russia was promoting far-right movements across the globe. Other Sociopathic Oligarchs have allied with that same strategy, and are all pushing the same things, but the nation with the biggest influence is Russia, being led by their Organized Crime government.

It is a simple fact that Russia has interfered directly, and substantially, in the last three presidential elections, and probably several before that, and it is silly to debate that. There is no doubt that Trump has been heavily steered by the Putin, we have seen it with our own eyes. Just look at Trump's latest adventure. He shut down the world's oil supply, but removed sanctions on Russian oil. Everybody else in the world, including America, has to take a serious hit on the global oil shortage, except Russia, who gets to make money on it (which they need badly), thanks to TRUMP.

Also silly is to completely dismiss the work done by intelligence agencies. Sure, we all know they do lots of sketchy stuff, that's the nature of intelligence, but they tend to be smart, competent people, who know what they are doing.

I've seen many reports on what the Russians were up to in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and there was no doubt that were trying hard to cause trouble. I'm not going to just ignore what I know because it's cool and edgy to just dismiss out of hand anything that comes from an intelligence agency.

When an intelligence agency makes an announcement, of course you have to consider any ulterior motives, which are almost always there, but to just dismiss EVERYTHING they do is dumb.

Of course, the other reason to dismiss everything from a valid source like intelligence agencies is because it doesn't fit your narrative, which is disengenuous.

So, dumb or disngenuous?

You don't even realize that you basically agreed with everything I said. These people are ALL global criminals, and you are still here whining about governments. Stop with your university radicalist anarchist nonsense, and understand that it isn't about politics or governments or social systems, blah blah blah. That's all so 20th century European radicalism. Boring, stupid, and an utter failure.

This is ONLY about Money and Crime. These people aren't interested in establishing any sort of government system, they only want to steal EVERYTHING. Get that through your head. This isn't about who has a better system of government, dummy. The Sociopathic Oligarchs don't care about that. They only want the treasure. The rest of us can starve, or kill each other, or whatever. Here's a bunch of guns, point them at each other.

But yeah, instead of addressing the Global Mafia that's taking over the world, let's debate which governmental system was responsible 30 or 40 or 50 years ago, that you wrote a masters thesis about. That's relevant, and productive. /s

BlueAnon talking points

I don't even know what that is, sounds like Conservative Propaganda Machine bullshit to me. A lot like TDS. Seriously, where do I go to hear these Blue Anon talking points?

Russia is not behind the US Empire's downfall,

And I did not say they were. I said they were heavily involved with election interference in the 2016, 20, and 24, and that they are the engine behind the global rise of far-right extremism. Those aren't some kind of "talking points," those are facts. There are lots of reasons for the downfall of America, from interruption of Reconstruction, to Dodge vs Ford, to the tax code re-write of 1974, and much more. Russia doesn't get credit for being the primary force behind the fall of America, but they have been a serious pressure point over the last 75 years, and especially the last 15.

I don't know if I'd go as far as Marx & Lenin, but I'm certainly supportive of Democratic Socialist concepts.
