Jesus. That is a hell of a lot. That would be equivalent to spending $300 billion on American election interference, or about 10 Manhattan projects in modern dollar terms.

I am also disgusted with my country that these much smaller "not professional" countries are resisting Russian propaganda somewhat-effectively, where the US faced with proportionally a much smaller amount of it is not just slurping it up but rolling around in it blowing bubbles begging "give me more daddy pls."

Putin really changed the whole massive arc of the fuckin' world and its history with what he's been doing to the US in the last 10 years or so.

yea, looks like the closer you get to Russia, the more you get to know it better 😁 also see how the Baltics and Poland are so staunchly anti-Russian - even the Polish conservative president is like that!!!

Hope you'll gonna get out of this looming autocracy soon. The world still needs you! 😁

Yeah. I used to work with some guys from eastern Europe who would practically punch you if you heard their accent and referred to them or guessed that they were "Russian."

Hope you'll gonna get out of this looming autocracy soon. The world still needs you! 😁

Yeah, me too. Me too. I am reading this which is supposed to be a pretty solid guidebook, and I may try to change my job so I can be aligned a little bit more with resisting and then recovering to something good. I fucking hope this all goes okay man, so far it is not for anybody.
