I have always said that western conservatives should demand to be paid by Russia because there is no reason to push KGB narrative for free. I am glad some of them are getting paid. Best part - KGB did not even bother to send them any talking points as they were already doing such a great job of pushing Kremlin's agenda on their own and without even realizing it. As most western conservatives still do.

Hello US conservatives.
I hear a lot of complaints from your camp that these crazy liberals want to turn your country into a communist state.

With that in mind, how the hell do you justify to yourself the fact that when it comes to the war in Ukraine your party's interest fully align with the interests of KGB/FSB?

America should not interfere? Kremlin agrees!
Stop sending money to Ukraine? We think so too!
Ukraine should be pushed to freeze the conflict? Absolutely! More time for us to regroup 👍

Genuinely curious how is that you think that doing exactly what Putin wants (an ex-KGB agent and an autocrat who for a decade has been using wars as means to improve his raitings) is in your country's best interest?

And lastly, this might not be common knowledge in the US, but hardly a secret in Russia (even less so among governmental employees, the kind I used to be), but Kremlin is getting ready to open a bottle of champaign the day conservatives get back into office. This fact does not set off any alarms in your heads? Or do you just tell yourselves that this is not true, war started under Biden etc etc? What about the fact that we are spending fortunes on Troll farms whose sole purpose is to convince you that instead of being worried about Russia threatening your allies you should be worried about woke culture?

This is not an attempt at a gotcha question. More of a rant. It genuinely sickens me when I hear useful idiots on right wing channels explaining how poor Russia was pushed into this conflict and that supporting Ukraine over Russia is not an obvious choice. I have even seen morons praise Putin as a great leader because he banned LGBT or did some other thing "to protect traditional values". And that's coming from the same people who value freedoms and complain about leftist commies.

The only good thing about it is I now know for a fact that Russian propaganda does not only work on my fellow Russians, but on Americans as well. You buy into the same type of crap Kremlin's been selling to Russians for years. Cheers.
