And how significant do you think these Russian attempts at sowing discord are? How much of the "fuck yeah, drain the swamp already"-sentiment is organically coming from Americans, how much of it is coming from Kremlin troll farms? Do you seriously think egregious waste of taxpayer dollars would have strong public support if not for the nefarious Russian propaganda? :rofl:
In any case, sowing discord by stoking a sentiment which will make the US stronger is moronic for a geopolitical foe. If anything, it would make far more sense to sow discord by pushing ideologies and policies which actually weaken the US. You know, stuff like getting more women, trans persons and effeminate men into the US military. Or promoting woke generals who are more concerned with diversity than combat readiness. Or pushing a movement which tries to convince the American public to not exploit its full oil and gas reserves. Or undermining meritocracy in college admissions and HR. Or letting crime fester by arguing that locking up criminals is racist and injust.
Pretty significant for China\Russia to pour billions into their propaganda machines. Way easier to deal with each country 1 by 1 than United NATO, general US Maga fanatic is dumb af, there was a dude here debating with me in Russia topic about Belarus becoming the new owner of Chernobyl (according to him) to make peace deal happen, thats all you need to know about how dumb and misinformed some of these people are.
Having more women in US military doesn't necessary make it weaker, what a convoluted point. Luckily there are sane people at the steer wheel of US economy, so movement or not it wouldn't change much.
