It’s sad because there’s so much narrative hijacking going on. Lots of confusion.
Trump is correct that the real “collusion” story is between the Russians and Hillary via Uranium 1, et al.
Clarity must begin with clearing the historical record though. And on FreeRepublic in general, I’ve noticed a lot of Putin-style Soviet Union apologeticism. Apparently, the Obama years have turned a bunch of Americans into self-loathing, skeptics, to the point where even Americans are viewing the Civil War and very 1776 Revolution was the conspiracy and work of NWO Masons or something.
The Russians, like the Chinese, have involved themselves in our society to promote an agenda and world-order more suited to their narratives and worldviews.
Chinese rich people: they invest in real estate, donate lots of money to American universities, started “Confucius Institutes” to promote their language and glossy version of their history, buy out Hollywood studios, etc...
Russian oligarchs: dirty money to politicians, create media outlets fostering narratives friendly to Putin and his antics, but above all: STIR CHAOS AND DOUBT AMONG THE AMERICAN POPULACE SO AS TO UNDERMINE INSTITUTIONS THAT THEY FAIL TO IMPLEMENT THEMSELVES. Namely democracy.
They didn’t care that Trump won, just that some sort of chaos was stirred. The problem is a lot of it has backfired...Trump will be strong and vindicated in the end...
Not the Russian oligarchs, who are facing major sanctions.
Wow, that’s really big. So you have found proof Russia interfered in the 2016 election? You should call Mueller asap!
