Russia invades with troops, US invades with metaphors.
- araes 12y agoActually, the exact point of the article would be that Russia, under Putin's wily leadership, has gotten much better about invading using non-physical force, or at least highly obscured physical force. We are instead the fools making the exact mistakes of a Russia from the 80's. Its interesting to watch occur, as Putin is currently so much better at the game than we are. You talk about it like we're interacting with the slow bear, when in truth we're now facing a strong, beloved dictator, who has largely consolidated dissent on his homefront with a clear message of nationalism / longing for the USSR, who is adept at manipulating geopolitics, and who excels at "showing" people the right choice, rather than telling them.
