What's absolutely crazy is he just signed an EO to get rid of USAGM...
For those who don't know, that's basically the propaganda arm of the US government and has been for a very long time.
This is probably the most surprising thing so far for me, I really thought he'd expand that to do more work domestically to counteract all the bad press and approval loss his actions are resulting in.
Like, I get why Putin doesn't want the rest of the world to like us, but it's just crazy they're getting rid of USAGM instead of just changing the propaganda it spreads.
Actually kind of relieved to see it shut down, this is a weird morning.
Shutting it down is harder to reverse under another president (god-willing).
This is like why putin put the bug in his ear about tariffs, it divides the west, leaving a regional power like Russia free to consolidate power everywhere.
Remember, Wagner is very powerful in Africa, where the voa and its siblings are most active.
he's very dumb
Genuinely, though, it is hard to gauge at times which actions are:
It is genuine chaos. But overall, the effects are pretty disastrous, no matter what exactly causes which actions.
Chaos is a ladder for oligarchs.
It’s narcissism all the way down. His sole motivation for anything is ego stroking. He lacks self esteem and the ability to value himself. His self worth only exists in validation from others.
Sounds like Elon is eliminating competition to his propaganda machine.
I'm looking at Trump as a Russian agent who was assigned to dismantle the US government. Everything he does makes sense when you look at it that way. And it's horrifying.
LOL Russian agent, look at the conspiracy guy, don't fall off the flat earth
Is it crazy when they can just use companies like TruthSocial and Twitter?
Get rid of all branches and implement your own with your own swamp creatures.
I see your point, and assume the logic (if there is any) is: Why bother when Fox and Newsmax do it for profit?
