So you're saying that Putin views the U.S. as whiny little who will be unable to resist a Russian invasion even if we wanted to (and most U.S. voters don't)?
That's crazy! How could he get this wild idea? Was it our disastrous pullout from Afghanistan? The fact that China will support Russia to blunt the impact of our sanctions? That Russia has spent over a decade building up a strong internal economy so that they don't have to worry much about sanctions anymore? The fact that America is now such a divided nation where no matter what the president wants to do, half the voters will oppose it? What on earth could have given Putin this idea that he can just walk in, take whatever he wants, and we are basically powerless to prevent it?
At the rate that our leaders are failing us, I'm seriously considering running for office myself. It's just so frustrating seeing how our presidents surround themselves with pompous yes-men who have long strings of credentials and zero actual intelligence. And our leaders are so fricking gullible that they never see through the illusion of competence from these IYIs ("Intellectual Yet Idiots"). Honestly at this point having an axe murderer run through the State Department wildly decapitating people could only be an improvement considering the degree of incompetence it took to get to this point. It might raise their average intelligence level!
Oh well, just another on the long list of things that our leaders will tell the media to censor so that people don't realize what weak and incompetent leadership we have. I suppose they'll tell the press that the sanctions they roll out are "the hardest sanctions ever" and we'll have a few months where "educated Reddit" pretends that "Surely Putin will have to abandon Ukraine, after all he is in mortal panic of our giga-sanctions!" The charade will go on for a few months before the voters realize that the sanctions aren't doing shit and are simply a way to reframe the situation so that our leaders can be seen to be doing something, anything, other than cowering like the - that they are.
I'm sorry, did I give away the plot too soon? Somebody needs to tell me how I can use spoiler text on rdrama so that people who are invested in our media plotlines don't get angry with me for revealing the plotline before they've had a chance to experience it for themselves.
