…. Orban and fed into American right wing political or media operations in order to spread
lies, propaganda, and social unrest over @ what many times are not really problems such as
the threat from Transgender people, the dangers of the COVID vaccine, and that men in America
are under attack. In 2016 and 2018 the NRA got tens of millions of dollars to fund Republican
Senate races.

Trump knows he will get some extra sugar from Vlad Putin now that Russia is selling its oil @
higher prices.

Russia funding the nutballs @ CPAC is designed to weaken America. I have often wondered
what are the links between Russia and News Corp. aka Fox News?
