    It’s not puppet masters pulling strings on a marionette. It’s gardeners watching the fruits of their labor grow.

    Their media campaign is part of how they influence trump. He watches Fox and reads xitter/truth social, and anything they can get into the buzz with their influence campaign shows up in front of his eyes. Tucker Carlson going to Moscow to interview Putin is a blatant example of their ties that are mostly more subtle than that.

    Tulsi Gabbard is another huge win for them, and she is in charge of what intelligence Trump sees.

    Trump doesn’t “take orders” from Moscow, or the intelligence sharing pause with Ukraine would have happened earlier and never resumed.

    When it happened I thought: The only way Russia wins this war outright is if the US switches sides and supports them instead.

    We didn’t do that. Russian control is not that tight.

      Interesting analogy. To spin this further, who allowed malicious gardeners to grow poisonous mushrooms here in our community garden? We largely abdicated the power of the state and government to the economic bureaucracy and ignored profit driven news and social media.
