@trevortimm @whitecollarhobo Gosh, is this all "post-truthing" Trumpsters can dig up in response to @CIA report on Vlad's help for The Don?

@1johnhampshire @whitecollarhobo FYI I am the opposite of a "Trumpster" - I deplore him and everything he stands for.

@trevortimm @whitecollarhobo Sure, I meant the ppl who provided the material - as dubious & irrelevant as it is - to Time mag.

@1johnhampshire @whitecollarhobo ah ok, sorry for misunderstanding

@trevortimm @whitecollarhobo Sometimes hard to get everything clear in 140ch ... cheers.

@trevortimm apples and oranges. Big difference between overtly hiring 3 private American consultants and hacking Dem computers.

@hausfraunyc it wasn't overt. They were kept secret in Russia, barely allowed to leave their hotel rooms. Read the article

@pyotr_kropotkin no of course not. did i imply they were?

@trevortimm @kennethlipp False equivalency. US assisted to prevent slide back to authoritarianism, corruption, and a failed state w/ nukes.

@Citizen_Plex 1) Putin probably also thinks he's on the right side 2) Yeltsin empowered and was pardoned by Putin @trevortimm

@kennethlipp @trevortimm Putin's ascendancy was unknowable outcome and not a reason to not act in our interests at the time.

@Citizen_Plex @kennethlipp @trevortimm Putin's ascendancy was a result of a tragic US-led "transformation" (Jeff Sachs & friends).

@Kasiality @kennethlipp @trevortimm So Putin and Russia's centuries old structure of autocracy had no role? Putin doesn't have agency?

@Citizen_Plex @kennethlipp @trevortimm Never said that. The transformation caused economic disaster & ppl were looking for safety.

@Kasiality @kennethlipp @trevortimm transformation is a process, not a cause. People have agency but also behave w/in structures.
