you should go
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

It's amazing how Trump and Russia have convinced tens of millions of US citizens that Russia is nothing to worry about and "not their problem". It's completely insane. Like if we just left Russia alone they wouldn't do anything to us. Fucking morons.

That crashed DHL cargo jet is (possibly) ominous.

As is Russian state TV running Melania nudes.

As is Russia pretty goddamn openly (this time) interfering in our election.

As is Russia launching strategic-nuke-capable IRBMs at Ukraine.

They are going out of their way to show who (as between Putin and Trump) is boss.

And that is before Trump is even at the helm.

I think we can, and unfortunately should, expect significant Russian and Russian-backed misdeeds directed at us and our (soon-to-be-former) allies, which will involve Putin more or less daring the United States - daring Trump - to do something about it.

Which, we won't. In fact, Trump will parrot the substance of whatever bullshit pretext Putin offers, as fact, through quasi-state-media.

And in response, our allies will (quite justifiably!) stop sharing intelligence information with us, which in turn will make us both less safe AND less powerful.

I hold so, so much contempt for those who, from education and/or experience, know this - and who still think what's about to happen is worth it.

This will be our undoing.
