The all-in part will come after the US elections.

And yes, Russia has dithered and been indecisive. Mostly, supporters have trotted out excuse after excuse.

I despise "5D chess conspiracy theorists" who've misled a lot of well-intentioned but naive people.

People should support or oppose Russia based on what it actually is, not what they wish it was.

That's another reason why so many lie about Russian-Israeli ties because they think others won't like Russia if they learned that it isn't anti-Zionist like Iran for example.

A lot of Alt-Media is lies and wishful thinking laundered with a few facts thrown in between to make the narrative more believable.

Mostly, alt-media and its supporters live in an elaborate fantasy world.

Like russiagate or Qanon, and the same rationalizations come out, over and over. Not to mention, they apparently get their world view entirely from Marvel Comics, where good guys win in the end, and lots of drama and plot twists.
