#3 any day all day.
He's got advisers, sure, all of which either got their own agenda or are dumb as fuck yes men. Some are both. Everyone has been fired or bullied out by other means by now.
They've replaced or outright destroyed entire parts of the government at this point.
That's quite the understatement. He's actively sabotaging the entire planet.
I've lost four friends to this war so far. Two were actively fighting in the volunteer forces and hence knew what they signed up for. The other two very much didn't.
While the third was a random drone into his apartment, what the russians did to the fourth one I can't consider human by any standards whatsoever.
I also indirectly lost my father to this shit. He married a Russian a few years before the war and suddenly started saying the very same things you were writing here. She's from northern Russia but still supports the war and Putin to this day.
There's more, a lot more, but I don't particularly feel like writing more since it gets very personal. Just wanted to give some perspective.
It's a bit different when you live an hour from the Russian border and have friends and/or family directly involved in the war.
Unless that's your reality, too, and you actually understand Russian and their general attitude towards anything west of them, you maybe, just maybe, are missing a few things here.
As for the CIA or US fuckery in general I think we all know they're just about everywhere. Ironically, it's probably a bit different now since the US are losing their soft power quite quickly, either by design or sheer idiocy.
Should've told her.
They are russian talking points and have been since this shitshow started.
Their state-owned TV has been parroting these for years at this point, in between unsubtle threats about nuking shit and straight-up lies about more or less anything conceivable.
If you can't admit that or are ignorant enough to not realise it, you're not really bringing anything worthwhile to this discussion.

It's a Finnish baby, knives are mandatory.
Jokes aside, I'm a Swedish speaking Finn who happened to move to Sweden for the last year of school and my teacher made a point of reminding me it's not okay to wear a knife to school.
She made quite the face when my mother told her we stopped that particular tradition about a century ago.
But still, it's something of a national joke, lol.
Are you implying that you don't use Arch?
Snowflake much?
