This include the Russian and the United States government.
It’d be so much easier to talk to you if you stopped dog whistling and pussyfooting around what you’re trying to say.
The far right is fucking allergic to answering yes or no questions with a yes or no. It’s a good sign of how they operate in bad faith; there’s no interest in locating a point of discussion where we agree.
