Okay, if good that you read, Jason hut you any relevance to this argument when you suggest I "get up to date." Have you ever lived in Russia? I am going to challenge you buddy Seymour Hersh there and those "revelations" about "Nord 2." I like how you write it as if you think you learned something shocking; but what that tells me is that you are likely prone to conspiracies, maybe Foxified and maybe even QAnon--if I am wrong on those fronts, I apologize. So, while you are jumping to conclusions, I was living in the society I write about for 30 years. I went to the Soviet Union in 1990 and stopped living there on February 26th, 2022. But you are right about one thing, Russia isn't in a social or economic decline--it's skimming the bottom on both fronts. So, as for me being judgemental, I have a right. My facts and all of my ducks are in order. So, my suggestion to you is, if you want to learn about Russia, go back and read every article I have contributed to Medium. As for the pipeline, without blinking or breaking a sweat, I know who blew it up and so do you, but you need Homeland and not reality: Russia.
