We're already at war with Putin and Russia,

He's attacked our elections, and has TFG and many republicans on their side promoting their propaganda and psychological war now with the same tactics. Their accuse others what they're doing, or call it fake news. They promote the same lies accusing others with like again TFG claiming Hunter Biden took money they know he didn't, then asking Putin , another serial liar, to come up with more lies to prove the case.

Putin has a long history with TFG and now republicans of doing this. Lie , then exaggerate the lies more, like he did with Obama, Hillary, Cruz, Biden, the election was stolen, and others, and the same tactics as putin uses. They now accuse Democrats of being against our Democracy,, which is what the are doing, and on and on. It also shows organized planning between these groups to do this, with promoting legislation to alter election results in their favor while claiming election fraud, which they are doing.

TFG and many Republicans are assets of putin now helping them try to retake power again, while our DOJ is MIA. The media instead of focusing on TFG and Republicans same tactics of lying again ,like he's used before, are showing his propaganda for him instead of exposing the same tactics he and putins been using. The election was stolen is just another example of this while the media shows his repeated claims of it instead of the same patterns Putins using. I don't know how many times the media today has shown Russia if you're listening tape , instead of exposing the psychological tactics they actively use to con Americans with.

We're at war with these people, and failing at getting the truth out preventing more people being conned into believing their propaganda. Putin, TFG, and Republicans are attacking our Democracy because they can, and until its stopped , exposed, and those involved have consequences, it'll get worse. Has the media sided with Putin , some have. Has the DOJ and some in The Supreme Court been compromised too? Really tired of waiting on the DOJ to rescue us.

It was called a Cold War because the militaries and nuclear arsenals weren't engaged in a hot war with potentially hundreds of millions of casualties.

Don't mistake what's happening now with a Hot War between the USA and Russia, or suggest there will be little difference if we escalate the current conflict into direct military engagement.

The horrors unfolding in Ukraine could be multiplied exponentially.

Regime change is not an unreasonable retaliation; it's what Putin did to us.

Supreme Court members, and the US media.

If that is not an act of war, I don't know what is.
