Soviet???? No budget or agency for him to be an agent of.
NATO supremacist evil has political capital tied up in Russophobia propaganda, and the delusion, once every 100 years, that the next time they invade Russia it will pay off. Only traitors, can ever question the potential failure of lies and money pit, and then traitors cannot be allowed to vote or run for office. All truth and practicalities is treason.
NATO supremacist hatred and threats to Russia are only growing stronger in response to direct economic war by US on NATO members. EU's political capital is tied to the CIA/US approval of their assent to political power, and US provoked war in Ukraine.
EU is criticizing Trump for not being a Russophobe, while engaging in total Trump sycophancy of imposing austerity on their people in order to spend 5% of GDP on US weapons imports, all to gift to Ukrainian suicidal Russia diminishment.
Russophobia propaganda
I mean... *motions generally*. Do you really think we got here by pure hatred? Do you think Russia is innocent? That their decades-long cyber warfare doesn't go unnoticed? That they're literally threatening the surrounding countries into submission and waging an anti-NATO political war? That they have invaded Ukraine twice and took the slightest circumstance as an excuse to do it again, so they could pin the blame on the West while they openly dream about the revival of the USSR? That they won't back out of a "special two-week operation" of four years despite having made their case? That they sabotage every chance for peace talks? Weren't they literally bombing Ukraine while giving lip service to Trump about ending the war? Haven't they orchestrated and perpetrated thousands of human rights violations by targeting civilians and poaching children for reeducation? That a bloodthirsty and power-hungry dictator's administration is running the country? That they don't play an active hand in interfering in foreign elections to topple our stability and governments?
Yeah, it's all unfounded Russophobia, and we should all reconsider what we think right meow! Or else! Russian style through a window.
