They had my attention for a few paragraphs, until the Russia FUD started. It's clear a lot of people in the military industrial complex miss the "good old days" of the Cold War, when there was a clear enemy to supposedly justify their existence and their jobs. Turns out America is its own worst enemy - who knew? But the fact that Russia's back on its feet (barely) obviously looks like an opportunity to some people, to start projecting the blame outward again. Hard to tell which writers are unquestioningly swallowing and unwittingly repeating the propaganda and which ones are actively part of it and probable intelligence assets, but the fact itself that there's so much of it, seems like a minor victory for the intelligence community.
