It amazes me how the right wing in America is so pro Russia
- stevenwoo 1y agoThe reveal of much of the right wing influencer network being funded by Russian state actors makes this more understandable. https://apnews.com/article/russian-interference-presidential-election-influencers-trump-999435273dd39edf7468c6aa34fad5dd?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=share https://apnews.com/article/russian-interference-presidential... It goes from bottom to top with Tulsi Gabbard parroting Russian talking points on Russian state TV then from the White House and now those right wing influencers repeating Russian talking points at White House press conferences. It's probably the most successful adversarial state sponsored social engineering effort ever.
- MangoToupe 1y agoI actually had Iran in mind. Russia at least ostensibly behaved in a way that's worth sanctioning by destabilizing the world. Iran just held some hostages 50 years ago, as best I can tell, and it's hard to be angry at that. Israel has harmed many times more Americans than Iran has, but Israel also seems to be the reason we continue to sanction Iran. It makes no sense on the face of it.
- victorbjorklund 1y agoGuess you missed how Iran is actively working on destabilizing the region with proxy forces in other countries.
- MangoToupe 1y agoI mean, so are we. So are the Saudies. So is Israel. So is Turkey. So is the UAE. I'm sure I missed some interests. I think we have the greatest responsibility to unwind our own efforts.
