Russia's long game involves the citizens of major Western countries becoming increasingly disillusioned by their governments, distrustful of their institutions, and divided amongst themselves. It's in their interest that Trump staggers into a second term. Putin understands how unlikely that is so long as a growing majority of Americans view Trump as the dangerous, contemptible clown he is and say it out loud and often. And so he (of all people) presumes to lecture us about our internal politics. Those are some big brass balls.
Fuck Putin, and fuck that gaping asshole he backed in the election.
Big, brass balls indeed. The Russians respect and admire that. Despite its resources and achievements, Russia is one of the most miserable places on the planet. The climate sucks, the people are poor and they don't get any respect. Putin makes them feel important because they perceive him as strong. If only they understood that he diminishes their respect.
The Russian people are awesome. They have prevailed under very difficult circumstances. They deserve so much better than Putin. If only they could recognize that.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
