I mean, the fault lies with everybody - as we've expressed, the writing was on the wall the whole time.

I don't expect the ignorant children to prevent the adults from driving the car off the bridge (that's a metaphor for most Americans).

Well, I'm glad they spoke out publicly. Maybe they (World Governments) can put in a bit more elbow grease next time to prevent one of the world's largest militaries from being bought by an authoritarian country at discount prices.

The CIA can destabilize governments across the world.

Russia can take over U.S. "Democracy" right in front of the world.

I guess nobody has inside men anymore. Does Germany, France, Britian not have a CIA of their own?

My point is that these World Governments have kinda gotten soft if this is where we're at. Hell, the fact that Ukraine is still at war and not being physically backed is proof enough (though stepping in w/ Russia holding U.S. means that ship has sailed).

I feel like, if this were true, wtf are literally all the other countries' intelligence and agencies doing to prevent such a thing?

I'd like to think China, while mostly on Russia's side, would not want Putin having control over the U.S.

ofc most of NATO wouldn't want that either.

Is every other country incompetent, complicit, or is the U.S. just becoming its own oligarchy?

Could a Communist Nation be considered viable if such a hostile force can take it down? Does it all come down to survival of the fittest (in the best use of the term)?
