    Which insanity do you mean?

    That it happened? That we don’t remember it? That we don’t analyse our situation? That I have mentioned it? Something else?

        It means that the story is more complex. If we cared about foreign influence we would know to which extend there still is American influence. Without asking that question we can’t judge if Orban’s relation to Russia is out of the ordinary.

        We also don’t know if our judgement of Russia is rooted in manipulation. America has a motive to split us from Russia.

        But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America.

          Fuck off, tankie. You know damn well that this community does not like american influence the same way it does not like russian influence. So take your dumb whataboutism and get out.

            Then think it through. People hate Russia so much that they don’t recognize how they are manipulated. Please, give it a thought.

              We have plenty of reason to hate Russia.

              And it does not prevent us from hating on other imperialist war machines.

              All of them can fuck right off.

                Hating the US equally doesn’t help to understand the manipulations. Understanding comes from trying to find their reasons for their actions.

                    But does he make the decisions? Right now, the closing of the strait of Hormus is so counter-intuitive that there must be a bigger consensus or Trump would be impeached.
