This in close proximity with the US "negotiating" their way out of NATO is... No coincidence or accident. This is what the kremlin wants. The CIA are probably the last agency you want to piss off. They're leading experts in fucking around, and are generally very conservative (look at the governments they back, it's always some right-wing kleptarch). The CIA delivered us Trump, and now Trump is cutting them loose and thinks its going to go well for him.

But Putin thinks it's going to great.

Wasn’t it the FBI that gave us trump? If one were to believe the liberal narrative that comey fucked over Clinton?

The CIA pumps out pro fascist propaganda abroad that then cycles its way back to us.

Oh for sure, but that’s more roundabout. I thought this was a reference to the liberal cope about the intelligence agencies handing trump the election by announcing damaging things about Clinton just before the election.

nah i was just saying we live in a media environment where propaganda is all there is and it slowly erodes any progress until the whole thing collapses

Definitely. Collapse is currently happening.
