Imo, there is a lot more paranoia than substance to this.

What is clear is that there Is no democratic truth that leads to war on Russia being a good idea, and very strong and overwhelming propaganda lies to support this war on Russia.

Factional divisiveness is a problem too easy to just blame on Russia. Your hatred of Russia is no more noble than hatreds of right wing factions.

people can criticise the blaming of many things on Russia, or as Trump and the MAGA faction say, mockingly, "Russia Russia Russia" but it doesnt change the fact that they've been the beneficiary of an increasing numbers of geopolitical 180's from America and certain European countries.

The fact that the Trump Administration is so eager to whitewash and "do business" with them despite the overwhelming amount of human rights violations, war crimes, and crimes against humanity all whilst being on an aggressive nucelar saber rattling posture, is all the proof one needs that there is deep and embedded collusion.

I see the 180 as simply giving up on a losing war, and getting Russia to pressure Iran.

The us did not insist on starting the war out of any goodness for the world.

Oh, I haven't quite figured out how to jump between instances with the same account, and I ended up making a Lemmy.world and Lemmy.CA account. I already had him blocked on world, thought the name was familiar.

endless war, LMFAO. Just like the reddit version

Mass Murder, Imperialism, Fascism, and genocide is only bad when bad america does it!

These people really should just stop pretending and sign all of their Posts with Slava Rossiya, ZOV, etc. but they'd lose 95% of their shitpost effectiveness if they did.

or maybe that wojak really does exist and theres people out there simping for a regime that wants to kill them.
