#2 Wrongfooted again. Sneer at Putin all you like -- yes, he's a bastard -- but he's completely outwitted our sadsack leaders at least half a dozen times since 2008.

#4 Walter Russell Mead makes a certain over-rated blogger go weak in the knees. All the info I need to push my chips the other way.

#6 These are the same sh!theads who promoted the idiotic Russia Hoax for four years and then told us Hunter Crackhead's laptop wasn't his -- it was those Wascally Wusskies again. Elmer F.U.D. forever

#7 Most of the videos from Russia see show people getting through their day. As they always have. I really doubt many of them lay awake at night thinking "How will Putin make me proud of my country?"

But the dimwits at WAPO HQ and Langley are all in on such fairie tales...

#9 Ref #7: But the dimwits at WAPO HQ and Langley are all in on such fairie tales...

The marketing of fear and dread. It's always worked in the past.

#11 FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) = "If you might bet wrong you shouldn't bet."

"I never met a winner who didn't bet."

#12 Gallup poll from 2018 showed even then, "78% of Democrats believe Russians interfered in the 2016 campaign and that it changed the outcome of the election presumably by helping Trump defeat Hillary Clinton."

Whether due to Trump Derangement or Hillary's disinformation or some other mass psychosis, Democrats have lost their minds.

We can't possibly have an intelligent policy toward a country when almost half the country is in the grip of a ridiculous, retarded hoax.

#13 You can't argue with a sick mind. People who have made up their minds have lost the need for thinking. And so on.

#14 Wow. Some of you REALLY like the flavor of Putin's taint.

#15 Rob, you probably make friends right and left with your ambiguous insults.

#17 BTW - I posted without comment, because I don't know really WTF is the bottom line. I think there's elements of troofs on both sides, but this wouldn't be happening under Preznit Trump 2nd term. My 2 cents
