Putin has to be just rolling on the floor on the ease at which people are gullible - get a few social networking sites to run the propaganda from some bot farms and you can start to screw with the countries you would love to destroy.
I was listening to a bit of Brexit stuff on the radio today - most of the people over there didn't even know what they were voting for. A revote seems the only sensible thing to do.
Now as for our mess.....Robert Mueller, Clean Up needed on Aisle 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Patton had it just right about those slimy, duplicitous fuckers after WW2.

(50,911 posts)very well done. I do wonder how many Senators he has on his payroll now, and how many years it will take us to unspool from his influence.

(22,065 posts)from now on will be very hesitant to deal w/ them being that they are so underhanded in their dealings w/ the outside world. You don't get a sizable business or reputation dealing in such underhanded methods. They (the Russians) may think that they won the game, but look at what really they gained...their economic punch is next to nothing (other than oil, and oil is in excess on the marketplace). With the markets in upheaval somewhat w/ BREXIT and rump, they pretty well shot themselves in the foot, and hamstrung themselves everywhere across the board.
