Do you find the title serious? And how about the illustration? Did you ask yourself if this could possibly be a russian bashing wapo article by any chance?


It’s from 2014, before the Jeff Bezos acquisition and the current Russian collision investigation.

Regarding the Russian investigation, I agree with Glenn Greenewald that there is nothing there, and that the Democrats are in danger of becoming the HUAC of the 2020’s.

Also, in defense of Trump, I think he understands that the real danger is China, who fakes both the degrees AND the research. See this article:

I hope that adds more nuance to my post.
