  The point is to invalidate whatever criticism is being made of the imperium

Then you read something which has never been stated. The point is that in a democracy people need to be well informed to keep their "imperium" to account, but that precisely this point is the weak point because it is overrun by commercial interests and adversaries that are KNOWN to be poisoning the well even more. To the point that we see here some special takes that are boosted or crafted, just to get people like YOU and ME to repeat that.

To craft such a take you don't even have to lie, you can take a (half) truth and meme your way to hide what should not be discussed.

This just works and is far more effective than fighter jets pro ruble spend.

The worrying things in the US should certainly be discussed, this is rather an understated point. In other comments I mentioned the war on terror for instance.

For that, you are not served by simplistic sound bytes.
