> Got anything to say about the content of the article? The medium (or mediator, as it happens) is the message, and I tried explaining who this mediator was. I can't take anything seriously coming from a guy who works for a Department of State blob agency. > And if you don't think Russia is trying to do this, do you have any reason not to believe it, other than "I don't trust the author"? My beliefs of what Russia may or may not do are in no way, form or shape influenced by what blob companies set up by the US Department of State might push forward, so I'm afraid I can't you help with that. If you want we can instead discuss about guys like (post-1950) George Kennan and similar, i.e. American thinkers who still dared have their own opinions about the Soviets (and, to be clear, I also think that Kennan was wrong on some stuff, but it was his right to be wrong as an independent thinker, unlike this guy Troy here).
