      If they were so good at it, they wouldn't have lost their own empire.🤔 Russian meddling is real, but Russia didn't force US into the Iraq war, 2008 crisis, inequality, the rich fleeing taxes, monopolies, no accountability for the powerful.. Address those, and rest is a footnote.pic.twitter.com/WCDYt8Bbo3

      This narrative of an omnipotent, omniscient mastermind engineering things for decades is just wrong and harmful. It creates unnecessary defeatism, and it's not what happened. The problems are homegrown. The reach of the meddling is a symptom of how real the homegrown issues are.

      Ok but so what? One twenty-something so blazingly obvious—shirtless Putin phone case!!!—with a predilection for vodka shots (student in new country!) playing spy is... irrelevant. Need to uncover meddling and corruption without losing sense of proportion.https://twitter.com/postroz/status/1022084142526291968 …

      Long before the indictment, I joined the info-security community in pointing out how obvious the RU meddling was. The evidence is, and has been, in plain sight. The reason the evidence isn’t enough is that the politics is broken. That the politics is broken is the key issue.

          That “prediction” was so hard. Newt, Clinton, et. al struggled with civil debates long before McConnell sold his shell for his base’s tax cuts.

          Can you break down "politics is broken" into coherent subtopics? My best guess is that you mean domestic politics between Rs Ds and a few 3rd party spoilers has become so adversarial that would difficult to discern with any certainty domestic rancor and foreign muckraking.
