Russian propaganda successfully convinced everyone that Russia had on of the most modern, powerful, well trained armies in the world. This is well documented. Most of the West predicted the fall of Ukraine within days.

The funny thing about a propaganda army, is that it can't fight a real war for you. The Ukraine invasion stripped away the illusion, and the world got to see the real Russian military behind the facade.

everybody who disagrees with them is a Russian spy or a bot

Absolutely not, but it's really easy to spot someone with incoherent rhetoric, that dances back and forth, and parrots pretty predictable lines they got online.

Exactly what you are doing, which confirms my suspicions that you’ve fallen into the Russian propaganda trap! You need to snap out of it!

Snap me out of it, point out which part is incoherent, MrRubberandGlue.

America actually sucks ass on its own merits, Russia isn’t responsible for any of America’s problems (since America is the sole global superpower and has absolute control over itself and a great deal of the rest of the world) and the fact that you seek out an external boogeyman to blame really only proves that you’re a highly propagandized jingoist incapable of facing this reality.

Oh I 100% agree. I don't think Russian propaganda is seriously influencing America, not any more anyway. Maybe Russia tipped the scales in 2016 enough to get Trump elected, maybe not. I think everyone has adapted to it now.

I think Russia impact online right now amounts to just making the internet a less fun place to be, because of the annoying trolls. I don't take it very seriously.

American capitalism would self destruct even if Russia did not exist.
