Those whose perspective aligns with the Kremlin’s are not ipso facto Russian dupes. The Kremlin links genuine sentiment and even some legitimate arguments to Russia’s interests in public debate. The Kremlin is also an equal opportunity manipulator. It targets the full spectrum of those making or informing decisions. It partially succeeds on every side of the political spectrum. Perception manipulation is one of the Kremlin’s core capabilities — now unleashed with full force onto the Western public as the Kremlin’s only strategy for winning in Ukraine.[4] That is not a challenge most societies are equipped to contend with.

Actively stimulating American isolationism is a stated tactic within Aleksandr Dugin's "Eurasian" strategy. Given the density of pro-Moscow posting here, I would argue that Americans aligning with Putin are in fact dupes.
.....Russia should ....support the isolationist tendency in the US, saluting with favor the limitation of US geopolitical interests to the American continent...... Aleksandr Dugin, as quoted by James D. Heiser .

Straight from the Top Warmongers
“Russia cannot defeat Ukraine or the West - AND WILL LIKELY LOSE - if the West mobilizes and blah blah blah.
Probably true
But what will happen if Russia loses?
The Russians have told us, repeatedly, calmly and precisely.
They will start an atomic war.
Which would probaly kill over 200 million Americans.
But Globalism and our LBTGQMAP agenda is well worth our Ekites risking 200 million deaths

Yeah cuz winning Asian land wars is in our long term national interest [/sarc]. You are a strategic fool. Asia ain’t our problem. The threats to our sea lines of communication are.. Tell me how we are going to deal with that after years of malinvestment in straightening out the Middle East.

It’s a border war between two corrupt countries. I don’t care about either.
That said, I’m done with NATO. We need to get out. All they do is blow money and blow up people.

“Perception manipulation is one of the Kremlin’s core capabilities “
Do you think they’re better at it than our own corrupt government? When does our own corruption prevent us from being ‘right”?

No need for a “peace deal” if Russia had just stayed within its own borders
* like every other country in Europe somehow manages to do ...

But Russia didn’t, so you admit there’s a need for a peace deal?
To: canuck_conservative
Bankrupt countries such as USA are better served to avoid engaging in foreign wars. When debt exceeds GDP, it is best to get own house in order first. And protect our own borders before worrying about Ukraine’s borders.

Nope, Russia needs to be kicked out of Ukraine first
Besides, Russia doesn't keep its word ... it already had a peace treaty with Ukraine, where it promised to respect Ukraine's borders ... and invaded anyway!
How can you have any "deal" with lying snakes like Russia?

Sounds like a bunch of Hopium…..and realization the West simply made a huge mistake trying to advance up to Russia’s borders through a proxy, the gig is up.
Ukraine is depleted in every sector, relying 100 percent on Hopium and western welfare. I don’t believe in Unicorns, Vlad still holds all the cards.
