I hate the smug ass way they talk about foreign adversaries. Everyone not living in the NATO bubble is a backwards barbarian incapable of critical thought or amounting to much.

It's White Man's Burden repackaged for the 21st. Century. Everything outside of NATO is an authoritarian hellscape with zero rights for women and minorities while the US is the height of human achievement. Nations acting outside of NATO's interests become targets of this type of rhetoric.
"We need to fight Russia to the death (of every last Ukrainian) or else the hordes will overrun Western Civilization!"
Maddow talks like this because at her core, she is a white supremacist looking down her nose on what she sees are undisciplined children.

Have none of the liberal fucks asked themselves at least once in their lives what could Putin possibly fucking have that would effect Trump whatsoever? The guy has committed every crime under the sun that a president can commit, something that his supporters fully acknowledge, yet Putin has some magic wand that will bring Trump down and make MAGA hate him if he casts his magic? It's insane that these people who in a lot of cases have college level education just turn off their critical thinking skills whenever the empire propaganda machine wants them to believe something.

They actually just think Putin is bad (Russian) and Trump is bad (rude), so they're both bad (gay) together. I don't think it's really any deeper than that.

Maddow is one of the most effective propagandists of the 21st century. The way she has affected huge swaths of yanks with Russia Derangement Syndrome is quite remarkable.

The only functional parts are those that were inherited from the Soviet Union. America has none.

When I read about the bungling attempts by American and European negotiators, envoys, etc, to work over Russia I often think about the difference in education between the two parties. Putin and his advisors are almost certainly all dyed in the wool neoliberals, but they have one significant advantage over their western neoliberal counterparts - they grew up in the Soviet Union and were taught some kind of material analysis rather than the tautologies and false truisms of a western liberal primary and secondary education. They have the basic foundational building blocks of real analysis while our western dingbats just think they're right because they're better.

She’s not entirely wrong, this empire is so shot through with bloat and graft that there’s more parasite than host. Russia achieves its goals while spending orders less on them.
Like yeah lol, lmao, being an empire is pretty criminal, every time, every empire is a criminal enterprise, what the fuck lol
