I'm saying for some people (especially Russian apologists) no justification is too absurd if it matches their world view.

Maybe someone with a stronger google finger can find the Doonesbury episode where Ambassador Phred is discussing the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan with the Soviet ambassador and it turns out the invasion was a CIA plot.

I just saw that janet yellen our treasurer, say that we can easily afford a two front war.  Because the economy is in great shape, says the same person that said inflation is just transitory and will resolve itself shortly ...

I am sure that she would say that 4 fronts is also easy.

Meanwhile the interest payment on our debt is now bigger than our defense budget.

From the Washington Post

"Homicides and violent crime overall decreased in the United States in 2022, according to FBI data released Monday, a welcome decline after the previous two years saw a surge in killings across the country driven by gun violence."

The Real Danger in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Independent Run

...But there is another reason to fear these candidacies, and it’s right there in the Constitution: a contingent election decided by the House of Representatives, arguably the worst part of the Electoral College system....
...How? By taking the election completely away from the people and giving it to the House of Representatives. This may sound far-fetched, but it is alarmingly plausible at a moment when the major-party candidates are relatively unpopular...

Both should make it easier to digest for some, but it's ultimately irrelevant...
That set of tools is now a bit less mysterious, thanks to two political scientists, Henry Farrell of Johns Hopkins and Abraham Newman of Georgetown. Their book published last month, “Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the Global Economy,” reveals how the United States benefits from a set of institutions built up late last century as neutral means of streamlining global markets.

These institutions include the dollar and the bank-messaging system known as Swift (the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), which is based in Belgium and run by an international board but vulnerable to American pressure. It helps that the rise of the internet has made the United States home to much of the wired world’s circuitry and infrastructure, including, in our time, some of the major cloud computing centers of Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Google.

The United States now has the ability to survey and influence the world’s communications and supply chains, should it choose to. After the Sept. 11 attacks, it chose to. It bent the institutions to which it had access into a defensive (as it then saw things) weapon in the war on terror. “To protect America,” Mr. Farrell and Mr. Newman write, “Washington has slowly but surely turned thriving economic networks into tools of domination.”
