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.
