Valid. I didn't mean that that Russian Oligarchs (Mobsters) were directly taking over America, I meant that they took over Russia, and Russia was promoting far-right movements across the globe. Other Sociopathic Oligarchs have allied with that same strategy, and are all pushing the same things, but the nation with the biggest influence is Russia, being led by their Organized Crime government.

It is a simple fact that Russia has interfered directly, and substantially, in the last three presidential elections, and probably several before that, and it is silly to debate that. There is no doubt that Trump has been heavily steered by the Putin, we have seen it with our own eyes. Just look at Trump's latest adventure. He shut down the world's oil supply, but removed sanctions on Russian oil. Everybody else in the world, including America, has to take a serious hit on the global oil shortage, except Russia, who gets to make money on it (which they need badly), thanks to TRUMP.

Also silly is to completely dismiss the work done by intelligence agencies. Sure, we all know they do lots of sketchy stuff, that's the nature of intelligence, but they tend to be smart, competent people, who know what they are doing.

I've seen many reports on what the Russians were up to in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and there was no doubt that were trying hard to cause trouble. I'm not going to just ignore what I know because it's cool and edgy to just dismiss out of hand anything that comes from an intelligence agency.

When an intelligence agency makes an announcement, of course you have to consider any ulterior motives, which are almost always there, but to just dismiss EVERYTHING they do is dumb.

Of course, the other reason to dismiss everything from a valid source like intelligence agencies is because it doesn't fit your narrative, which is disengenuous.

So, dumb or disngenuous?
