> Before being named U.S. attorney, Martin appeared on Russia-backed media networks more than 150 times, The Washington Post reported last week. In one appearance on RT in 2022, he said there was no evidence of military buildup on Ukraine’s boarders only nine days before Russia invaded the country. He further criticized U.S. officials as warmongering and ignoring Russia security concerns.

This is getting ridiculous. Is there anyone associated with this administration who does not have a record of promoting Russia's positions?

Well, considering they have a very high ranking guy in the Putin regime who considers that to be his full time job, google "Vladislav Surkov", they seem to be doing a fairly effective job of it so far.

They'd be the exact same.

It's like like Dugin's Foundations of Geopolitics was a wish list.

Russia has a pretty high ranking guy in the US Government as well, google Krasnov.

If they were any good at it there would probably be less overt Russian sympathizing.

Except that's not coming from the top. Tens of millions of people wanted this.

Maybe this is indeed what Russia would do to us. But we're beating them to the punch by doing it to ourselves.

Or they’re aiding it.

Why do you assume it has to come from just the top?

The Internet Research Agency explicitly focused on the masses.
