Yeah, I dunno. This is why I had to leave. Veneer literally means false front, decorative layer with no substance. I’m not American but I grew up there. In my take the US is worse than Russia, has been since your sanctions collapsed them and you are all in denial. Trump isn’t the coming of fascism, he is the expression of the existing fascist government.
That’s sort of my point. When everything looks close and reasonable, democracy is the veneer, but when it’s fully exercised, democracy still works.
I have a hard time feeling bad for sanctioning a country whose government is actively expansionist and an extension of the mafia even if I feel bad for the citizens, but that’s a separate discussion altogether.
Those sanctions against Russia included actions like funding the Iran Iraq war at their borders that killed most of my extended family. America is a totally mafia run country and you guys really have some weird perceptions about yourselves and your place in the world.
