If so, what are some misconceptions or seldom known facts?

    Lol, who was it that taught shitlibs like you that anyone not immediately agreeing with them is equivalent to “refusing to engage with the points”. I engaged with your points just fine, they’re just bad points.

      Mccarthyism is accusing with little or no evidence. There’s piles of evidence of Russian involvement. Hand waving doesn’t make it disappear.

        There’s piles of evidence of communist spies operating in America during the cold war too, mate.

              Are you allergic to making hard statements? You accused me of mccarthyism, which involves accusing people with little to no evidence. There is evidence of 6,000+ Russian regulars in Ukraine in 2014. That’s not “dissent,” it’s an invasion. I’m not saying there weren’t genuine separatists in those regions, I’m saying it was hardly an organic movement.

                “there were Russian operatives in Ukraine, therefore all dissent is illegitimate and can be crushed with lethal force.”

                If you can’t understand how that is the same as justifying McCarthyism by saying their were communist spies in America, it’s because you’re being willfully obtuse.
