You’re not analyzing anything here. You’re just mocking a strawman version of things to avoid facing what you don’t understand.
Putin thrives on ambiguity, and Trump has served that strategy again and again, openly and with intent.
If you studied asymmetric warfare instead of ridiculing what you haven't yet grasped, you might begin to dispel the ignorance in yourselves as well as in your perceived enemies.
The question now is, why is Elon again willing to attack Trump over the list?
Something is going on here, which - if we can put our minds to it - we can tease out.
It seems we are looking at a near systemic collapse of truth-telling in classic media.
That the NYT is carrying water for a russian asset in the white house says more than what they are printing specifically at any given moment.
Like how the governor of Kursk stole money from the defense of his oblast, you know such projects by Trump are grifts as well...
Welcome to Putin's America...
This analysis is beyond flawed. The author can't even understand why the CIA might not be 100% transparent with its methods.
Would you trust a person like that - one who can't understand that - to tell you what the truth is?
The reporting is wrong. It should say: "Trump lied about threatening..." because of course he lied.
Do you think Comey is smart enough to realize that this is partially his fault? Or is he such a stupid idiot that he can't see his own hand in all this?
That you can only call out the US, but not name names or other countries and their leaders, all but proves that you don't understand.
Good day.
EDIT: Again is it clear you all don't understand asymmetric war, because if you did, you would be able to see that your circlejerk is just a case of building up and tearing down strawmen.
EDIT 2: And still, in all your rationalizations and gyrations, you can't admit that anyone other than the nebulous "US" can engage in asymmetric warfare. This alone shows the limitations of your thinking.
And trying to use the "debunking" of great man theory as proof that Putin and Trump aren't important actors is bonkers. Both clearly act with autocratic "self-determination."
No one is saying they are great men. At best they are "generals" in the byzantine generals problem. Again, you need to do more research on the topic of asymmetric warfare before you will be able to make a coherent argument against the foundational thesis: "Putin thrives on ambiguity, and Trump has served that strategy again and again, openly and with intent."
Likewise, the straw-manning I called out was in the original circlejerk between you and the other original commenters.
The thesis I have put forth is the "steelman" that you are now flailing against. You are learning that it is harder to make rhetorical progress against an actual argument/thesis than a bullshit one.
Read and research more. Then maybe you will make actual progress in understanding the moment.
