Are people really not aware that the brexit referendum and last two US presidential elections were heavily manipulated by Putin to weaken NATO and the EU so he could do exactly what he's doing right now?
- blibble 5y agocan you explain how having the UK inside the EU would have prevented Putin invading Ukraine?
- gadders 5y agoI think that is a conspiracy theory. Russia certainly seems to be doing better under Biden than Trump.

Of course, I regret that they have caused themselves harm—I also regret that they have caused me harm to some extent, although probably less, due to my socioeconomic position. Focusing on Putin is the infantile response of, in my case, a British élite who have run out of ideas and who would rather put up with idiocy like Brexit than implement a proper welfare state.

- yucky 5y agoPutin invaded Ukraine & took Crimea in 2014 while Obama was President. He invaded again recently with Biden President. As far as I know, he didn't invade anybody while Trump was President. I wouldn't exactly give Trump credit for that, but I think we need to be honest about the timeline here..
