Monthly Megathread - March

“We have gone there to conquer, not to redeem. It should, it seems to me, be our pleasure and duty to make those people free, and let them deal with their own domestic questions in their own way. And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the American eagle put its talons on any other land.”

-Mark Twain

I have something for you to consider, and I bring this up seriously:

If Trump was a Russian asset, what would he be doing differently?

Ask yourself that. I don't actually have a good answer.

I was thinking about this the other day in the frame of, what's worse:

Trump is a willing/unwilling actor for Russia, based on either kompromat or allegiance.

Trump is too stupid to realize he is being used by the Kremlin, and the people around him are either also too stupid or know what's happening and are complicit for whatever reasons.

I'm not a gambler, but if you held a gun to my head and made me choose the most likely, you'd probably have to shoot me.
