What is really scary though, is that what I expressed about the US, is a genuinely held fear. Russia seems to be at least almost as effective in the propaganda war against the US as the US was against the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
I hate being 'that guy' but I've said it before and I'll say it again.

This only ends...'The Russian Way.'

Putin either needs to fall out of a window or just vanish.

The problem is, who replaces him? Navalny was pretty much your #1 ideal candidate.
