    … because he has a ton of global influence??? He’s former KGB, one of the greatest misinformation diseminators of history. If you don’t believe that, you like consume some of it.

      Ok. That doesn’t mean he’s behind literally everything the way liberals make out. The KGB were second rate information manipulators compared to domestic US operations anyway.

        You are making a strawman argument. I didn’t say I am liberal, nor did I say Putin does everything. I said Putin is likely behind this, because Putin definitely has compromat on Trump. I also said he has global influence, which he does. These statements are obvious, supported by overwhelming evidence, and not so broad as your strawman

          Oh ok, we’re doing this are we? Alright.

          I didn’t say I am liberal

          Argument from silence.

          because Putin definitely has compromat on Trump.

          Proof by assertion fallacy.

          I also said he has global influence, which he does.

          Proof by assertion

          These statements are obvious,

          supported by overwhelming evidence

          Proof by assertion

          and not so broad as your strawman

          Fallacy fallacy.

            Those are not examples of me making fallacies, those are examples of me not writing more content than I did. You made a strawman, actively constructing a lie.

            It is certainly well evidenced, as I said, that Putin is a disinfo maestro. I simply am not doing your research for you.

            I will not be replying to you point by point because your points are hollow and repetitive. Enjoy fighting for a genocidal autocrat online.

              Actually a strawman.

              But anyway, enjoy blaming Putin every time you stub your toe.
