DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - To clarify:
Putin was a declared partner in GWOT at the start of 9/11.
A combination of foreign NGO influx into Russia and GWB’s abuses in Iraq caused a breakup circa 2006.
As far as I can tell, Putin has never distinguished between GWB’s vision (and tbh Woodrow’s vision) of “America can deliver democracy by force, because God’s peoples desire it” from all the ills of NGOs that invaded Russia and globalism.
Maybe we can understand how Putin got to that point, but unless he makes strong signals otherwise, IMO we take him on his word: he wants to destroy America.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - I’ve gotten blowback for being anti-Putin, but the equation is simple. Putin blames Americanism for the world’s ills and has stated so. The best spin you can put on that is that he’s conflating Americanism with globalism, but since all this started downstream of GWB, that’s unlikely to ever land on him.

Quoted Post:
Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke - The corruption here is off the charts. Rand Paul has just released a trove of emails showing Fauci soliciting various so-called scientists to nominate him for awards, many of which Fauci then went on to win, receiving substantial prize money in the process.
This needs to be forensically dissected, preferably by the DOJ. But even looking at just one example, Barton Haynes of Duke, the questions are staggering. Fauci personally petitioned Haynes to nominate him for an award, which Fauci ultimately won, including $1 million in prize money. That alone raises serious ethical concerns.
But what really knocked me off my chair is that Haynes has received something like $1.2 billion (with a "B") in funding from Fauci’s NIAID. The entire system is totally compromised, with a small circle of elites effectively doing favors for one another, all at taxpayer expense.
