@louis I normalized by donation per person, even when you look at unnormalized data america still isnt at the top.

Plus as I said Russia **wants** humanitarian aide. Killing off the population makes them far less valuable once you own them than if the people are alive and physically healthy. Its the military complex they want to destroy not the people.

@lunac@toot.io

In what sense?

@louis

Also, when normalized of all the countries donating to the ukraine for humanitarian aide the usa ranks 29th. In other words, America was never really giving them much in that regard anyway.

@louis

> If they had so much influence, why wouldn't they just prevent the aid packages from the beginning so they wouldn't have to throw their entire army through the meat grinder in Ukraine for over a year?

Two reasons 1) They wouldnt want aide packages to end because exterminating their people isnt their objective, they want to own the people not kill them. 2) If they did that you wouldnt have an argument to use to convince people that Russia isnt involved, the whole point is that they need to do things that make it look like they are against Russia without actually doing so, and this is a perfect example of that.

I wanna be oppressed so bad though.... Lol

@louis and the timing again fits perfectly into Russia agenda of wanting the Democrats to appear against Russia while working for them..

They wait until Ukraine has no chance of victory left of any kind, them lift restrictions at the last minutes before defeat giving just enough plausibility to think Russia isn't pulling the strings yet in no way actually putting Russia at risk as they are now set to win the war anyway.

@louis the Democrats specifically put rules on Ukraine that they couldn't advance attacks into Russia... Seems the Ukraine example is the perfect example of them trying to appear like they are against Russia while actually actively working towards their interests.

@louis

Because of the "and hide it" part... Seems to have been a great tactic that was effective on you based on your response

Putin's plan step by step:

1. Convince americans it is a two party system
2. Control the democrats and hide it to make it seem like they are the good guys.
3. Control the republicans and make it obvious enough that people think they are the bad guys.
4. Let the Americans fight and no matter who wins its Russia
5. Profit!

His plan has worked out perfectly, even now the people fighting "against" it are still fighting for him because of #1.

@timo21

He has been in control for a long time now. This is just the point where he has no need to hide it anymore because he controls both sides now.

@randahl

@gpilz @paulisci Good point, how foolish of me :)

@paulisci It didnt work for Biden or Harris why would anyone think it would work on Trump. How about we just dont elect evil people?

@STCmicrobeblog I would expect nothing less!

@tetrislife most welcome

Not my area of expertise, but you seem to know what your talking about. I'll give a read to the link if I remember tomorrow but I boosted because this is all very interesting.
