They put one of their assets in the White House, and you think they’re failing? They might do it a second time for fucks sake!

Russia isn't exactly benefiting from its investments is the point I'm making

France on the verge of an extreme right takeover

Germanys AfD party making significant gains

Substantial foreign influence in the legislative and executive branches of US Politics

By all means, please continue to ignore the signs. “It can’t happen here”, right?

Those parties aren't gaining ground because of Russia. Russia is definitely an influence, but they're not the reason these parties are winning. They're gaining ground because the establishment parties are failing people and these parties are the only alternative they have. We've seen such parties win in Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, etc but nothing really changed foreign policy wise.

If he is Russian asset, can I sell his ass?

He is corporate asset. A tool to strengthen neofeudalism.
