I see taibbi say things like all the aircraft carriers and NATO aren't needed after the cold war ended but I think that is the main reason the MSM, dems and neocons started the muh Russia ptropaganda, to build Russia back up as a threat, to reignite the cold war, and give reason for these trillions of unaudited pentagon spending. The truth tho is that USA and Russia are in collusion, and have been since 89 at least and likely before, and use each other as boogeymen to help control their populaces. The stopped doing that for a short time after the cold warn and instead tried to use Islam as a boogeyman with false flags like 9/11 but people have mostly realized that was fake. Terrorism is minor criminals at most not a real scary boogey man like a standing army with nukes. And yeah 9/11 was a big event but most realize it was a false flag and it just made people not trust authority even more.
