Ugh. It’s like millennials woke up yesterday and said to themselves “Wait a minute. We have rival countries that don’t have our best intentions in mind??”
Did our generation just skip world history classes in high school or something?
- headcanon 8y agoI had that initial reaction as well, but I think it was a reference to Russia being recently "in vogue" in the media for these actions - basically the "fake news/facebook/DNC" label applied post-2016.
- enraged_camel 8y agoI don't know what you're trying to say. While it is true that our rivals don't have our best interests in mind and have always acted to subvert our goals, their efforts to do so became brazen and blatant only very recently. Furthermore, this was (and still is) exacerbated by the continued denial and looking-the-other-way of our leaders currently in power. So it is a substantially different playing field today than it used to be.
