The US is burning down and now they are trying to drag the rest of the world down with them.

Until they learn the Republican party is bought and paid for by Russia to destroy the country they are in for a rough time.

It's absolutely hilarious to see blueAnon types continue trotting out their Russiagate conspiracy theory. Americans are absolutely incapable of owning what their own political system is doing, and always have to blame the rest of the world for their problems. It's a nation of petulant children.

Replying with a bunch of debunked Russian propaganda to dismiss Russian interest in steering US policy seems like putting your head in the sand. You are so far down the rabbit hole of misinformation that I hope you are able to make it back to reality at some point down the road.

And good luck in the future, I'm done with this thread as I'm not going down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and misinformation.

The only debunked propaganda here is from US as detailed by the articles I linked. Every country has interest in influencing other countries, there's nothing special here. However, the idea that Russia in particular has disproportionate influence on US politics is absolutely laughable. The fact that you can't see that you're the conspiracy theorist in this thread is really just a cherry on top.

Funny enough, I just watched a video about this topic last night.

This is the narrative that US propagandists have been pushing since 2016. Yet, the actual evidence available says something different

If people in US were serious about political interference, then they'd be worrying about corporate interference and how Israel is openly buying politicians.

This sounds like recycled Cold War I hysteria. How much Democratic party Kool-Aid have you drunk?

First of all, where did Russia get so many US dollars from that they were able to outbid all of their US petit bourgeois and corporate competitors in buying the US Republican Party?
