Americans don't need to think of him as a Russian agent because of the treatment he is experiencing - they need to consider him a Russian agent because that allows them to continue to ignore the crimes against humanity and war crimes that their country has been committing, in their name, for decades - and which Julian worked, tirelessly, to expose to the world to see: embarrassing Americans who were previously convinced of their nations exceptionalism. Americans need to be distracted by the "ma' Russians!" narrative in order to be kept entirely ignorant of the 500,000 innocent people they have killed in their quest for glory in the Middle East. THAT is why "ma' Russians!" is being propagated as a narrative - because if anyone thinks the Americans shouldn't be getting away with murder, they sure as hell won't have the moral authority required to do something about it, if they are Russians, or Russian tools... America is in the grips of another McCarthy era. There is NEVER any evidence given that "ma' Russians", yet the trills call out every time an American evil is placed on the table.
