    Welcome to the eventual mirror image in the USA upcoming next year.

    Due to tariffs, groceries will go up but no one will blame Trump for any of the idiotic things he will do that will work towards ruining our economy.

    Russian media manipulation was simply a proving ground before implementing it in the USA.

      Well, it’s illegal with very heavy punishments to blame putin or the war.

      Of course I would not be very surprised if trump tried to make criticism or insult aimed towards him illegal.
