I have no idea why the government does nothing. The head of Zero Hedge is living openly in the US and isn't a registered agent.
-
DOJ is still captive space

Man I used to enjoy Zero Hedge before like 2010. Back when he was bitter as fuck about getting caught and was basically livestreaming all the skeletons in Wall Street’s closet. Zero citations generally, but grab your popcorn and see how the capitalists make their cancerous sausage!
Then it changed to Breitbart for the wannabe tech-bro or the moonbat conspiracist who thinks InfoWars is too culty.

"Hey guys! You should totally have a Civil War over that! D, don't... Mind what were doing over here in Ukraine.
Lol"
-
But there is no border crisis. There are immigrants claiming asylum. That's it. The crisis is how Texas decided to spend taxpayer dollars to fight a fake onslaught of "iLlEgAlS".
-
That's only because USA isn't helping Ukraine, imagine what Putin would do to USA, if USA was still helping Ukraine! /s
-
I get the sense Russia's the girlfriend whose job is to hold the gun and the tween whose job is to start running when cops show up, to keep the heat off the real problem.
-
China is as well, but neither of them understands what he's asking for.. war just makes this country stronger, and going to war with ourselves is how we go Super Saiyan.. but they're trolls, so that's all they know how to do..
-
I don't think China is that keen to destabilize the US dollar, since their economy is still very heavily intertwined with America. And I don't even think they necessarily want Trump to be the next president either, the anecdotal being that Trump never expresses any deep affinity to China as he did with Russia.

Texas should secede and become a Russian Oblast. They seem to want that.
-
No. No we do not.
-
Some of your comrades definitely do.

-
They sure are. None of this is new. Lol
-
I'm glad you can finally admit it. This sounds like a breakthrough for you.

I saw a post where someone was listing the reasons Texas would do better as an independent country, they were talking about its economy, freedoms, whatever...
And the fact that it has "warm water ports", which is a hot button topic for one country and pretty much nobody else...
Russia is trying to export her Ukraine debacle to North America. Anyone calling for secession, national divorce or any other dissolution of the United States is a Russian asset. If Trump is too explicitly Russian for you, you can fall back onto any of the other neo-confederate suckers the GOP has teed up in their matryoshka primary
Those warm water ports aren't going to do much good if they can't get out of the Gulf.
Specifically phrasing it as “warm water ports” definitely points towards Russia, but port access is an issue for many countries. Especially for landlocked countries, but even some countries with a coastline have few locations suitable for a port. In modern times we can dig artificial ports, but this costs a ton of money that often has to be financed with debt.
As someone who has been dealing with Russian propaganda, it works in one of two ways:
Way I: divide and divide
Notable examples: environmental movements in the west, antivax, Black/Blue Lives Matter
Way II: post modernist bullshit
Harder to point at examples, but if anything becomes an issue that's talked about you will see a lot of articles that talk a lot and say little to muddy the waters and make the public doubt the truth.
I read ‘The Future is History’ by Masha Gessen and it’s all about Way II. They lay it out in sharp detail via interviews with Russians of all ages. It was eye opening.
