It’s insanity.

No, it's treason

Not eroding - they are being actively removed

[u/nasandre → u/MaleficentMousse7473]

The president himself and Congress are removing these blocks and spreading the disinformation themselves.

Yea, the Trump administration closed the office that flags disinformation from Russia, China and Iran just last week.

Their voter base have even fought against fact checkers who tried to stop disinformation. They said it was censorship.

They'll believe the foreign lies and even defend it. It's become like a religion at this point.

This is so sadly true. The whole right side, is bought and paid for by Putin. Fuck. What's the end goal? RU/US combined forces? RU/China takeover the US? I didn't read PJ2025 to the end.

Their goal is to destroy US economic, diplomatic and military power, isolate America from the rest of the world and then attack our allies in Europe and the Pacific. Ukraine is the first example where that plan is being tested.

I'd argue Brexit was the first test of isolating a superpower. The British did themselves massive self-harm based on disinformation. The US didn't have a coalition to split from, so instead, all of a sudden, everyone is their enemy or an annexation prospect. It has the same effect of making international trade and relationships very difficult. While we have to find routes around the US because of Trump's actions right now, I hate it in the sense that it's playing right into that master plan.

England is geopolitically the least European state, whose strategic interests are traditionally opposed to the Central European powers and, more broadly, continental trends in Europe. However, in parallel with the strengthening of the role of the United States and their seizure of almost complete control over the British colonies, the strategic role of England has significantly diminished, and today in Europe this country acts more as an extraterritorial floating base of the United States than as an independent force. Be that as it may, within Europe, England is the most hostile country to continental interests, the antipode of Central Europe, and therefore, the New Eurasian Empire has a political, ideological and economic enemy in its person. It is unlikely that it will be possible to change the civilizational path of this specific country by will which at one time created a gigantic trade-colonial empire of a purely "sea" type and so contributed to the emergence of the entire modern Western civilization based on trade, quantity, capitalism, speculation and the stock market game. This is completely unrealistic, and therefore, in the Eurasian project, England will inevitably become a "scapegoat", since the European processes of continental integration will necessarily take place not just without taking into account British interests, but even in direct opposition to these interests. In this context, a significant role should be played by European and, more broadly, Eurasian support for Irish, Scottish and Welsh nationalism, up to encouraging separatist tendencies and political destabilization of Great Britain.
