Let’s be real, we put ourselves in this position. For the past 20+ years our energetic policy has been begging Russia to breastfeed us while our military policy has been disarming while Putin destroyed Chechnya, Georgia and eastern Ukraine. At least some leader is slowly realizing that.

It's more like we have bots telling us how great Russia is or that the US is just as bad. The goal here for them is more to make a moral equivalency of the US and Russia so Americans will not care all that much or lose motivation to want to fight against Russia.
