I guess it's tantamount to just throwing poop against the wall to see if anything sticks.

Hi Guest, we are working on updating the site servers and software. We're also 'forcing' everyone to read and agree to our site privacy policy and terms of service. There are no significant changes to either of these but the terms page does clarify a few things that are mostly in the legalese. You can just click the checkbox for both and continue using the site as usual! We'll update you more on the site upgrades VERY soon! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS for supporting the site and being an active participant!

Who cares anymore. Both sides does it and I am beyond tired of it. I'm just going to grabbed the popcorn and watch both parties destroy each other.

Well, you knew that was coming.
Manchurian candidate.
On a more serious note, both the Chinese and Russians cultivate what I call "soft assets" overseas.
It is not as hard as, "You will get invited on this TV show and read this script aloud. Now, memorize this guidance and then burn the paper. Go!"
On the other hand, the Russians and Chinese invite Western foreigners (frequently academics) to their countries, give them the kid glove treatment, expense paid stay in nice hotel, fine dining, explain Russia's (or China's) position on various issues, and then send them home in the hopes that they will explain the Kremlin's (or Beijing's) perspective on this issue or that (like Crimean annexation or Taiwanese reunification). If they do explain the Kremlin's position, they get invited back next year. If they fail, the Kremlin moves on to the next one.
In Russia it is called the Valdai Discussion Club. I do not know the name the Chinese attach to it.
Israel does something similar with evangelical Christian church leaders.
For the record, I am not saying Walz was one of these at all. Just that the Chinese and Russians do cultivate soft assets abroad.
I was intrigued by the recent prisoner swap. The "illegals" who were KGB agents posing as Argentine art collectors in Slovenia. We are just now rewatching "The Americans" series, a spy thriller series about the same subject. I doubt this couple killed as many people as the spies in the series.
They hid their identity so well that their kids spoke Spanish, and only found out they were Russian when the plane landed in Moscow.
Ron Johnson for the win ...

" Republican Senator Ron Johnson attacked Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz over his ties to China, claiming it’s a red flag that the “radical leftist” got married “on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square.” "
New documents detail Sen. Ron Johnson asking about electors
Newly released documents from the House Jan. 6 committee show that the former Wisconsin Republican Party chairman testified that U.S. Sen.

Johnson knows a thing or two about seditious behavior.
Yep, but those are "hard" Russian assets.
I'm talking about "soft one," opinion leaders that are never directly on the payroll of the FSB (or Chinese MSC). These folks will never receive cash directly from the Russian (or Chinese) government. They will simply appear on German (or French) TV when it helps Russia and explain, "Well, you see, the Russians are really not that bad. They are just misunderstood. What is the real travesty is the US (or NATO's) position on _____" (fill in the blank here).
A colleague, Anton Shekhovtsev (an ethnic Russian from Sevastopol), has written extensively on this. They are intended to create the impression in the West that there really is more than one side to the question of Russia's invasion of Ukraine or China's "reunification" with Taiwan.

The Americans is sooo freaking good...
So Im guessing Senator Shelby was being cultivated as a soft asset when he vacationed in Moscow on July 4th, our independence Day.
Two can play at this game, Senator Johnson...

Some people think admitting both sides do something is equating them. It's not, but if you're stuck in a binary mindset, that's apparently how you have to view things. Go team!
Using "both sides" in response to an attack is an attempt to normalize the behavior.
Donald Trump was the focus of the dnc speakers, so yea.
Even people with 140 IQs can be both sides. Agreed.
Some are so unbiased that when they normalize "both sides" it is always skewed away from the side that is breaking all norms of decency, law and order, and government of by and for the people and toward the side working to preserve those things. I don't understand it, but that's how it turns out. But those of us pointing out those discrepancies are the real problem.
Not necessarily - especially if the behavior is already normalized but one side is unwilling to acknowledge their team's malfeasance.
You will let us know when this is actually the case, won't you?
Also, let's stop and consider the terrifying implications of Trump behavior having already been normalized.
