yes, it does not, but over last 4 years a lot of things happened that aligned with the content. Look at even the latest riots.

Too bad we can't have a Geneva Convention on botnets or something. (I would write "couldn't", but don't believe it's technically feasible)

You are being divided internally by a domestic force. BlackLivesMatter vs everyone, putting male against female, isolating individual by destroying nuclear family. Putin should be last of your concerns.
