I've been trying to figure that out also , a friend from junior high retired out of the military a few years back .
He's a patriot but this whole thing going on in his mind is that Russians are evil and thier killing children , won't even look outside of the box , so our conversations on this are somewhat kept a bay. I've seen that ignorance to look outside of the box in a lot of people that have been in the military , if it's not Trumps fault it's Russia and bitch about everything that has gone wrong since this administration came in .
I sent him three articles , a clipping from the fake news, a youtube , bitchute , he totally dialed into the third and had absolutely nothing to say about the other two . The people on the left do the same thing , they absolutely refuse to look.
How the hell can't they put the dots together is beyond me, if it was a snake they'd be bitten and it still wouldn't matter.
