For like 80 years, the west prepared for war with Russia. Russia played the long, quiet game and just parasitized our politics, and our economies. They’re winning without ever firing a shot. It’s impressive, albeit infuriating.
Russia hasn't done nearly as much damage as the capitalist class in America has.
Yet
Nah. Absolutely overhyped.
Europe shrugged at the Nazis just like that
My dude I'm far more worried about America's actual Nazis. Russia is just a distraction.
Do we really need to debate which country's Nazis are the worst?
Putinism vs bipartisan right debate on lemmy?
Russia has had dramatic political influence in this country for a very long time now. If you’re not worried about that as well, then you’re extremely naive, my guy.
Sure, but NOWHERE near as much or as bad as under-regulated capitalism, which has taken over the entire government and caused the needless deaths of tens if not hundreds of millions in the US alone, billions worldwide.
And that's not even counting the even greater numbers that it has left alive but perpetually struggling and suffering!
Yeah, they've been stirring up the local Fascists who are a much bigger problem.
