All the same strategies Putin uses: blood & soil (white nationalism), demonize minorities, cut taxes on oligarchs, censor schools & media, and rig elections - all to end US democracy itself
Mr. Newman, you asked for proof. The media and the US security agencies both did the research on what the Russians were doing on Facebook to foment dissent during the elections and after. Putin wants to diminish our image politically to build his own. It's not that complicated when you read the facts, because he sure as hell used our far-right racists to do just that.
I'm passionate about this subject, because the man is a psychopathic murderer with nukes. I have read about him for years. Now the world is playing catch-up. We can't get into someone's head or heart, but you most certainly can judge by what they DO. Look at what he has done! He is a thief in every sense of the word.
The Russians have genuinely approved of him, because their lives were crap before the base of their economy changed. They will pay the price for his actions as well.
"This American Life" did a podcast on 2/27 that factors in how Putin came to office and what is happening currently. PLEASE listen to this eye-opener:
763: The Other Mr. President.--Stories about Vladimir Putin. Did he come to power in 1999 by killing hundreds of innocent Russians? How’s he really seen in his home country? This show is a mix of old and new stories we’ve done about him.
The Amanpour and Company show of the 28th has valuable information by people that have had to fight Putin after trying to deal with him. They know he is crazy and ruthless. They talk about the money and nukes. It may be a day before the episode is posted on PBS.
And on today's kerfuffle, who could be more racist than a psychopath? They do not attribute person-hood to anyone but themselves. They may look like they are fond of a pet or love their family, but it's because they take pride in OWNERSHIP. Right now Putin owns Russia and to him they are HIS nukes. He is not strong, he is not brilliant, he is a weak, small, isolated paranoid man. I can tell you what he is; TRAINED by the KGB!
from Ruth Ben Ghiat on MSNBC website 2-26-22: in 2018, 3% of Russians held about 90% of the country's assets. Isn't it about the same in the U.S.? It would seem there is an argument that the fascist oligarchs have already taken the jernt over; quibbling over voting is merely a formality.
Thom, I have wondered at times why I love your work so much. Now I know it is because it reads like everything I have written on this same subject. You have repeated in this same article points I have made over and again in my work on Medium. It's like reading a mirror. For substack readers, I will begin posting numerous works of mine on my own page.
Thom I didn't realize you posted on Medium also. Why can't I Follow you there? Medium doesn't want to permit you more that 1500 Followers? You gotta know Thom, the site is screwing its writers. Here's my latest on the job Medium is doing on its 'creators.' https://medium.com/leftovers-again/weve-been-royally-fucked-e35d1d9bc939

I wonder if it was self-immolation?
