I bet Putin thinks we're all insane. "I don't have to do a damned thing, and I get both credit and blame for all of it! Americans are crazy!"

Putin says he's perfectly happy if Biden wins. Is that election interference, I wonder?

He is saying that because he thinks that by saying he likes Biden people will think the opposite that he really wants Trump, so vote Biden. Everything is down the rabbit hole now.

I hope we are aren't learning that centrally controlled oligarchy is the more stable and sustainable political system.

If you're using longevity as your scorekeeper, dinosaurs have us mammals beat all ragged. Of course cockroaches put them to shame. Be nice if we could figure out how to make an unstable political system work better.

Dude, this is off topic, but mammals have existed for 178 million yrs, and the dino run was only 165. Don't underestimate your brethren. You're on the money abut cockroaches

Once human-machine interfaces are through brain-implanted wires and warmaking is by robot, oligarchy will certainly be fully sustainable. History is not a steady move in one direction and the most successful countries in 100 years may be the ones that allow the most experimental biohacking innovation.
