Nice to see your hard earned tax dollars are going towards such a fabulous cause. Meanwhile I’ve heard it said that Chinese and Russian bots exploit divisions in the Western world by talking about things like poverty, homelessness, gun violence, racism and sexism. Well maybe you should start doing something about those issues to stop them being used as fuel for alleged foreign propaganda efforts hmmm?

      Eh it’s not like the US hasn’t churned out tons of anti-China and anti-Russia propaganda in the past few years, yet China and Russia are still doing relatively well on the international stage outside the international-community-1international-community-2

      I love how the US has totally abandoned the idea of simply doing anything to prove itself as a worthwhile country worthy of respect.

      If anything it feels more like this country is actually just Europe’s Israel. The US is Europe’s personal attack dog to do the dirty work while European nations can pretend their hands are cleaner than they actually are.

      Then when you suggest actually making stuff, like something as simple as California to stop passive-aggressively taking its time on the hsr to try to get people to want to cancel it. The entirety of the American people look at you like you have two heads.
