The point is everyone hacks everyone. Ally, Enemy, Neutral alike. We have whole devisions in our intelligence services devoted to doing just that.
clearly the only crime in this regard is getting caught.
And even then, it doesnt pull away from us being allies with those who do. So *hacking* as with *influencing elections* are poor metrics for allies/enemies since in the long run we dont keep to that standard.
But hey! Nuanced opinions don't sell, so what does it matter? Public opinion shapes policy, and we'll be back into the Cold War whether we like it or not
which is sad because many people voted trump to avoid that
among other reasons
bs the cold war wont happen again untill there are 2 space cores
lmao
The space wars will be the cold war
as 2 groups arms race
the kind of fear in that era wont be repruduced until there is a chance of a nuclear war with a victor again
Partially. Much of the Cold war fear is because the people there remembered ww2 and feared another.
These days no one is around, or remembers it.
It was essentially instant
As soon as the Red Army crossed over the rhein
Kinda but not fully.
Yeah
my uncle and mom sure as shit remember the 80s and 70s
But there's crazy anecdotes about the meeting between the allies and the Red Army and how fucking crazy they were
Gorbachov didnt strike the fear stalin did
They didn't even have full military clothing, and would just slay an animal once they got hungry. Didn't even have food rations and shit
well my mom was born in 56 so at the very least she grew up in the duck and cover age XD
"The Russian Federation must be good because the cold war is over" is the wokest take yet
the 70s were the best
It's like saying we should continue to distrust Vietnam because of the commies
The USSR must be bad because the cold war is ongoing?
inverse, opposite, whatever. You know the spirit of my statement.
Yeah
the USSR was bad when the Cold War was ongoing
The Russian Federation is not even 30 years old.
And?
We have yet to give them a chance to prove they can be a worthwhile ally
lol
I guess we'll forever be enemies with Russia then.
Im not saying that lmao
Russia can stop trying to be our enemy and they therefore will not be our enemy
They're not trying. When's the last time you heard Russians screaming "Death to America! Death to the West!"?
They're on the defensive entirely
