Removed from /c/worldnews as 'misinfo' despite coming from a credible source that is clear about the evidence backing up its reporting. Posting here instead.
EDIT: Beware the comments in this thread, which are attempting every possible derail. Here's what you are in for if you read the comments:
❌Reading the article

✅ Moving the goalposts after realizing there actually is evidence in the article
✅ Derailing with unrelated topics
✅ Not engaging with the evidence but saying "no one cares"
✅ Attacking NYT's reputation by reference to unrelated articles
✅ Dogpiling with downvotes without responding to comments making legitimate points
✅ Mods inconsistently applying their own rules to remove comments they disagree with
This thread really has it all! If you also want to help derail, please be creative and add something different than the things listed above. I will be awarding originality points.
Americans should really understand that the real threat isn't Russia or China but their own politicians and capitalists. Richest nation on the planet etc.
Why are Ben Shapiro and other right wingers not rotting in a jail cell?
Why are democrats pushing for a xenophobic border bill when it's the same thing the so called Russian agent DJ Trump wanted in 2016? Are democrats capitulating to the support base of a Russian agent?
Go ahead and make your own thread about those if you like. I don't understand why you would bring them in to try and change the subject in this particular post unless you're purposely whatabouting.
Please even just read so much as one paragraph of the article and post anything related to that, anything at all. I don't feel like that's asking too much.
