      Where would these imperial citizens who believe that Russians are subhuman orcs craving white flesh hear about anything that contradicts that story? Certainly not from any “reputable” bourgeois media organization in their native language. Even if they did, what would it matter? Whether in the EU or the US, imperial policy isn’t governed by public opinion. There’s no neutral cosmic referee that’s going to be persuaded to intervene if one party looks hypocritical enough

        Oh for sure. No question there. I don’t see it having this kind of outcome either. I do believe there’s a possibility that the Trump administration thought of it this way however.
