You're letting Trump get off easy by suggesting he's being manipulated by someone else. He's not an idiot, he knows exactly what he is doing.
But the bigger point is this: Assange did something that benefitted Putin. That doesn't mean he is Putin's agent. Americans are so obsessed with Russia, they see it everywhere, which is just not true.
My friend, the evidence that Russia is wilding out and putting its shit out there all over the world is vast. I am not sure what to tell you if you can't see that.
The US fucks up all the time, badly, granted. Why are you continuously trying to obfuscate Russia's shitty actions by talking about other countries?
because this is about the US trying to arrest a journalist if you havent noticed
🤦♂️
Of course, every country worth it's salt is putting out propaganda, interfering with elections, and more.
But what I don't agree with is that every time someone exposes the dark side of the U.S. (like people voting for Trump, or democrats being caught doing something shitty again), the default is to blame an external evil instead of acknowledging your own mistakes.
