Oh, so now that's because the US is overextended... Then it's formidable that you think they are doing something good and significant about it, because nobody's convinced.

No, I do not believe that Trump and Musk are doing a good job. I just compared them to Gorbachev. But to suggest they are Russia-controlled is batshit insane, it's like the people who say "the Jews control everything".

Partly controlled maybe. Here's an article
>29 times Donald Trump did what Putin wanted https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-...
Can you cite any times he did something the Putin didn't want him to do? And I mean not just saying he's thinking of putting sanctions on Russia but actually doing any sort of sanctions whatsoever while he stops all support and shouts at their victims?
The same reason Gorbachev got busy dismantling every leverage of power that the Soviet Union exercised in its last days: because he realized it was overextended and needed to slow down or go bankrupt and collapse. It did anyway, despite his best efforts at reform.
Trump and Musk have long been proponents of the idea that the US is overextended and far too deeply in debt. Whether you agree with them or not, that doesn't make them "Russia controlled".
