Non-MAGA - But don't feed me the Washington "consensus" neoliberal bullshit about geopolitics or economics. I know way more about it than you do, and if you're an academic in the field, I know at least as much. Leftist DNC critic and bane.
Mara is either the name of a street or a reference to a stinging ant native to Latin America. Nobody would ever conflate Mara with "MARIjuana" - Marijuana is the same spelling in English and Spanish and nobody would make this connection except an idiot looking for Dan Brown type clues.

I spent an hour poring over MS-13 tattoos and hand/finger tats and could not find any evidence of the following:
1) Mara ever depicted as a marijuana cypher
2) Smiley face means nothing of the sort
3) Even MS-13 on fingers is incredibly rare
4) No matches to anything but the cross symbol at all

Not sure which part of "Executive Order" you missed. Congress mandated "AN" or "A" "foreign assistance" agency. The President then created one. Hence, USAID is not a creation of Congress. The only mandate that King Trump and Emperor Elon have is to either create another agency or rename USAID.

Fascism requires and implies an organized opposition. We do not have that in the United States. The oligarchs do not need to resort to fascism while both major parties systematically exclude real opposition and cater to the oligarchy.

This report is irrelevant. Of course they have ground down old Soviet era military stockpiles. Just like the US & NATO have ground down our own stockpiles from the same era. But unlike NATO & Ukraine, Russia is rapidly manufacturing new weapons systems and Ukraine is running out of men.

"Russian occupied areas" are also the same provinces/oblasts that tried to get a degree of autonomy back in 2014. They preferred closer relations with Russia and feared the neoliberal takeover of their government would lead to a repeat of the 1990s when the USSR collapsed. This is a long term plan.

LOL. "US" access to rare earths (and the breadbasket of Europe, and control of pipelines, and everything else the "US" was going to get out of the Shock Doctrine-lite they had planned for Ukraine) is why Vicky Nuland bragged that "we" spent $5Bn there to begin with, way back in 2014.

If we're talking USAID here, unfortunately that agency was created by Executive Order under JFK. Hence it can be shuttered immediately on the basis of an EO under Trump. Congress has no say except in some funding. If you're talking about the other one w/ all the citizen data, yeah it's total BS.

Illegal according to whose laws? I already know the answer as Lithuania is a willing Chihuahua to D.C. and NATO and has long been a home to WWII era Nazi descendants who hate Russia with a passion. And how could ONE SINGLE employee carry off an act like that, anyway?

So where are all the video confessions of "North Korean" soldiers captured by Ukraine? And speaking Korean? We were all told this would be forthcoming, they swore up and down. Instead all we get are low-res and obvious videos of what look and talk like Buryat volunteers?

Good grief. 'Nuff said. Did you guys ever produce a shred of forensic digital evidence for your claims about so-called Russian interference or hacking in 2016? By that I mean above and beyond the CS statements to Congress under oath that there is none.

You clearly don't know the definition of "ad hominem" unless you think I'm attacking WotR, which I am - and I gave my reason. It's highly biased. That's not ad hominem.

Why don't you just summarize in your own words here why CSIS was wrong, since a basic word search for "CSIS" or "Center for Strategic..." yields NADA in your article.

Gotta say tho...if you're even WRITING for WotR, your output is immediately suspect. It's a highly biased outlet and almost never admits to any US or US ally/vassal weakness in the face of "hostile foreign power" actions.

Uhh WHAT?! NATO keeping WWIII from breaking out? This is pure delusion. NATO is a weapons system sales racket designed to "Keep the Soviets (Russia) out, the US in, and Germany down." It's a tip-of-the-spear offensive tool that the US MIC pretends is a "defensive alliance."

"so much richer" - Define that. And when so doing, exclude the part of the GDP that entails "financial services" and debt. The USSR was always far richer in terms of natural resources and geography. And WHO benefited from the creation of Russian oligarchs? The western financial class. That's who.
