    NoT JuSt rusSiA

    That is kind of the case? But never mind. I am not downplaying Russia’s efforts, at the same time I am not going to blind myself to intrinsic facts about economies like the US’.

    but that doesn’t mean Putin’s oligarchy is finger licking innocent, or even just a minor player.

    I have never said they’re innocent ;_;

    it’s just that Putin’s oligarchy doesn’t need any unpaid (let’s hope) defence in internet forums.

    I think that can’t be argued against. Let’s extend that line of thinking to Palantir, Elbit Systems, Facebook and so on.

    I know there are one or two Putinists and unabashed Ayatollah fans on the .ml instance but it’s not representative of every user.
