    Let’s see it unravel first before you try and poo-pooh any connections.

    I hate to bring the bad news to the table, but the US isn’t the ONLY country on the planet with foreign interference capabilities.

    Have you read The Foundations of Geopolitics by Aleksander Dugin?

    You should.

      Russophobia led people to accept Ukrainian nazification puppetry by the US to force war on Russia, just as Iranophobia was always a march to this war. That a Russian wrote a book on geopolitcs doesn’t change the pure evil forces coordinated on diminishing Russia that exists without addressing how to defend against them.

      This Hungary/Orban funding for evil is serious, explains GOP admiration, and last minute political rally from Vance. Interesting that in the rally Vance held, he tried calling Trump live on speakerphone, but it went to voicemail. Trump doesn’t really care about GOP/CPAC/Heritage.

        Force war on Russia. The west made Russia invade Ukraine. Russia was like, no, we don’t want to invade a sovereign nation. The west was like, oh yeah well you better. All because russophobia. That must be it.

        In Ukraine, Russia is the aggressor. In Iran, it’s the United States. Blaming the war in Ukraine on Russophobia is about as reasonable as blaming the war in Iran on their chants of ‘death to America’. You can dress it up any way you want but at the end of the day they are both empires doing the shitty stuff that empires do. Let’s not pretend like either is innocent.

          Blaming the war in Ukraine on Russophobia is about as reasonable as blaming the war in Iran on their chants of ‘death to America’.

          It’s a bad comparison, as Ukraine/Russia is functionally a civil war over a border that didn’t matter until the USSR dissolved. Iran/US is a proxy war over Israel’s expansion into Lebanon.

          Much like with the breakup of Yugoslavia and subsequent genocidal border wars, the fight between Ukraine and Russia has been manufactured by Western political interests seeking to run both countries down. That’s why the US is sending money and weapons to both countries.

          By contrast, we’re not standing up Iran’s military.
