It has nothing to do with 'America Bad.' It has everything to do with a social problem that is allowed to persist.

@FlyingSquid In the not too distant future, being shot dead will be as common as catching a cold in the US.

@wallinhabiter @LaFinlandia The daily work of any intelligence service:
Assasination
Blackmail
The planting of false evidence
Kidnaping and disappearance
The ruining of reputations
Illegal surveillance of the innocent
Occasionally, causing a little inconvenience to the guilty

@Wilshire Americans seem to be relatively unpurturbed by these incidents. They are a familiar part of US culture now.

It expresses the age-old Russian belief that suffering is inescapable, and must be accepted.
(Most 'Russian' folk songs were stolen or plagiarised from Ukraine.)

The US political process is so DYSFUNCTIONAL, that Washington is incapable of making even the simplest decisions. Issues are discussed ad nauseum, but action is rarely taken. Much has been made of action taken against the Houthis, but the Houthis are a disposable asset of Iran. "We have taken action against Iran," is a bald-faced lie. Russia has evil intentions towards the USA, but nothing has been done to make them fear real consequences. The USA looks weak ATM.

Washington is in a state of total chaos. The US effectively has no government.

The leader of the Orthodox Church, is an (ex?) KGB agent who became very rich, through illegal tobacco dealings arranged for him by Putin.

@0x815 @SamsonSeinfelder I agree. I see no prospect of a sudden collapse in Russia, just a glacially slow deepening of cracks that are already visible. I don't see any chance that the Russian population will 'rise up' and change things. The Russian mentality is deeply rooted in stoicism, and the inevitability of suffering. I see one possible future in which Russia becomes a 'slavic' version of North Korea, but that is only one possible future. Any change which does take place will be very slow.

@Wilshire The Russians have made intensive efforts to subvert Polish farmers to act against Ukraine; including pay large sums of money to rabble rousers. Most of the farmers don't know that they are working for Russia.
