Before conventional war is always psyops and espionage. This is just Russia playing the game. What is interesting though, is how a small island of people are not raising hell with their government for creating and propagating a situation that could end them entirely.
The Globalist in both our major parties are why this perpetuates. There are people born into this world with money and access. They use it for personal and network gains. The People are their means and ways to that. And for years, eons, they have tricked simpletons into following, and supporting, at their own peril.
The Libertarian and Left monikers have been usurped by media two decades ago and they have seeded an idea that Liberals and the Left are responsible for what corporate dollars are doing to the populace.
Yet. The United States government has no Libertarian or Leftist major parties that can contend against the two major parties and their corporate sponsors and jackals. Those we see in MSM that claim to be reporting for the median are actually corporate talking heads used to distract the median from understanding what they are not being told.
At this moment in human history, those that go on the attack, instead of looking for reasoning are doing it out of program, or just mislead followers that are smooth in the head.
They need another group to pour over the already seeded lies in order to help them maintain the narrative.
If any of you were part of the anti-Iraq invasion protest, and you saw how many people attended; once the government becomes this totalitarian figure it desires, it will be made to choke on its own blood by a number of people that cause the anti-Iraq invasion protest to look small.
There, I said it. Come at us totalitarians. We're armed to the teeth!
It did, but now it can't.
