It's more in the way of propaganda than flawed perception. It is known that Moscow has people posting on various websites around the country, including conservative ones like ours. And FR is one of the largest conservative forums around. So we should expect that they would infiltrate this site too, posing as Obama haters, etc... Obama, of course, has helped Russia in their stated goals perhaps more than any president in our history with his missile defense, nukes, and other deals.
I agree with where you are going there. I think you’re right on the money.
This is another good point. If you like Putin, you should love Obama. Both men want America to retreat from the world, to allow malignant forces to rise up, and to see America’s enemies strengthened. The opposite of Obama is not Putin. They’re on the same path.
