is one of the 365 days a year when it's good to remember that over 90% of the victims of war are civilians, over 90% of the victims of U.S. wars are not from the U.S., and over 90% of media war talk is meant to glorify mass murder.

Notice that they carefully define "Russian asset" to mean not necessarily an asset and not necessarily with any connection to Russia.
Former US intelligence people are pushing the “Tulsi is a Russian asset” line. That’s not at all suspicious, amirite?
