Both US presidential candidates are being called Russian puppets.

@novaguy2u And where did you read that?

@Lapochka it's common knowledge. You wouldn't know, ad your press is controlled by your dictator government, i.e. V.Putin.

@novaguy2u If it’s common knowledge where did it come from? What source so unquestionably reliable first said it for it to become “common knowledge”

@Lapochka We have the freedom of access to media everywhere in the free world. Your media is controlled by the government, which is effectively a dictatorship. Hey, if you think Putin is the bees knees, good on you. You're free to believe what you are told to believe.

@novaguy2u Yes your media is free to push stories that suits its own agenda rather than the truth, regardless of who it hurts. Look and the division on and burning cities in the media run US, a country at war with itself. Something for you to look forward to.

@Lapochka What is happening in the US won't happen here. If you don't think your government is stirring up problems in the States through social media, then you are naive. It is Putin's interests to see the States weakened and in turmoil. You obviously live in the false belief that you have a degree of democracy in Russia. I pity you.

@novaguy2u Youve made quite a lot of accusations but you haven’t given a single piece of proof.
You didn’t have the guts to say your “common knowledge” came from your media. You couldn’t tell me how you know this is happening, and you couldn’t prove it. The Nazis blamed Jews for Germany’s economic failure in the 1930s without proof or method too. It’s the same thoughtless hate your so called free media gave you. This thing you say isn’t happening, you’re already in it up to your neck.

@Lapochka Sweetheart, just be happy to go on living in your 'socialist paradise'. You have no idea as to what it means to live in a democracy, and I have neither the time nor the will to try and tell you. Have a good life!

@novaguy2u I am happy, I’m safe, I earn enough money to have a nice home and go overseas a few times a year, I have friends and family I have good times and I have prospects. I’m content to watch your Democratic government profit from you liberal weakness, feed you hate through the news and know you’ll spend more time tearing each other up to ever have the energy to focus on the people the media tells you are your enemy.

@novaguy2u But what would Putin have to gain from it? America is doing everything it can to hurt Russia. We're in two proxy wars with them right now and bombing all their allies in Syria. Why would Russia support a president whose actions do the opposite of what they would want?

@BlueMetalChick The theories go that by increasing interior instability, it damages long term US hegemony and that a falling US provides opportunities for other nations to rise. It is more a of a long term view, and fits with some of their other international politicking. But if anyone is going to rise from a faltering US, the most likely candidate is China at the moment. Though they still have more work to do in breaking their dependence on the US consumerism that has provided a good deal of wealth.

@ViciDraco My hypothesis is that Trump is beholden to Russian bankers or oil barons or even criminals. Not the Russian government. Like we know he owes lots of money and after that thing in Panama it would make sense.
