Could you elaborate? Are you implying Putin is clean, or that the western govts are as corrupt as his?


The US cant launch a cyber attack from known US IP addresses because this would be too obvious and easy for Russia to block. So the US would need to hack computer systems in other countries to cover their tracks. Ergo the US Govt is dragging innocent entities (members of the public/businesses/Govts) from other parts of the world into a cyber war which could escalate into a real war considering the Cold War2.0 rhetoric thats being put about by the media who also happen to like to play both sides and fuel people's bias and cognitive dissonance.

I'm not suggesting Russia is any better or worse than the US or any other country but scientific data and other known facts can lead others to conclude differently.

The fundamental flaw for humanity is the belief that hierarchical forms of governance are best, when all the science shows that people in power become corrupted especially when they set the laws that allow the deniable op's and other coverups.

Perhaps the best metric to consider for a balanced least corrupted society is the difference between the richest and poorest in that society. In other words, the less social cohesion you have the greater the corruption. Considering the US has the richest people in the world, the data suggests the US is the most corrupt nation on the planet.

And with the US now hacking the world whilst it tries to hack Russia whilst blaming Russia, I refer back to my analogy about being forced to play for the school sports team whether you like it or not. Its the same problem migrants face, no one asked to be born and no one asked to be born in a repressive country or a country where the psychopaths rule the roost.

So does the above now make you think these sociopaths who like winning popularity contests (what else is an election) enjoying tricking and misdirecting people who dont think through the consequences?

Perhaps its high time to start Questioning More as the Russia Today tag line suggests. In other words dont be so easily led or to put it even more bluntly stop behaving like a dog fetching the stick your master keeps throwing you.
