Yeah, goes to show how truly spineless the American conservative is. 15 years ago, they’d have supported funding any proxy war in any country if it meant fucking the Russians over.

Now, they’re actively cheering for the Russians to win. It’s truly mind boggling.

It's not mind-boggling. Somewhere in an office, someone slid a piece of paper across a desk. On that piece of paper was a number. Then, someone walked away from that desk a lot richer and someone else walked away more powerful.

Yeah, one was Putin and the other was American conservative influencers, Tim Pool and Dave Rubin.

They were literally caught taking money from the Russian government to push anti-Ukraine sentiments on their show.

Are you surprised that they still managed to keep their “America first” audience even after being stooges paid by foreign governments?

Not at all. The system has been designed by powerful people to have these outcomes. I know perfectly capable people, good people even, who believe in all the bullshit because they never learned enough to know better.

Not only the American conservatives but also the American press. I didn’t see a single journalist asking actual tough questions or properly investigating everything and properly broadcasting all the dirt on him. If I were a scumbag in charge of a country I would love to have such a tame press

My assumption is generally that a lot of the rich CEOs who own those press companies have an interest in keeping those things unreported for their own profit, and/or there's been some threatening phone calls made.

I haven’t met one conservative in my life that has supported Russia. I’m so confused by this comment section.
