I wish Americans would read this book. I read Russian Roulette first, then Michael McFaul's book, from Cold War to Hot Peace, then this book. I have become convinced that Americans are under a sustained cyber attack from Russian across multiple social media platforms. Using a bandwagon effect is critical to their methodology. They have been using "redpilling" techniques to gradually pull Americans into racist ideology. They have been using these sustained attacks to move white Americans slowly over to white supremacy through meme baiting. Their methods are primarily designed to create divisions in American society so that we will crumble. Meanwhile, the Russians are taking over our leadership by coordinating with the Republicans after taking over their email server and keeping the email contents private to themselves for blackmail purposes. They also suggested to the Republicans that it was better for them to be Caucasian, Christian allies instead of enemies. I believe they took the deal. It's a frightening proposition to see the Republicans choose authoritarian dictatorship because it is white and Christian instead of democracy because it is diverse. I have finished all the books, and I have to add that life under kleptocratic, authoritarian, rule is absolutely desolate and nasty. You lose all your freedoms. Someone was just fined by the Russian government for called Putin a derogatory name online. People are jailed and tortured constantly. If you watch cable TV, they were running commercials begging for money for elderly Russian Jews who were literally starving, because there are no social programs anymore. Instead, they set up a government where the rich steal everything, control everything, take away everyone's freedom, dictate how life is going to be lived, very homophobic, racist, violent society with an authoritarian force of both civilian and government enforcers. Religion is dictated to the people such as telling everyone they have to be Christian. I think Americans need to quickly decide just what it feels like to live in freedom versus what it feels like to live in a theocracy like Iran, a kleptocracy like Russia, and a dictatorship like North Korea, because we are trading our values for those lives right now by allowing so much of our population to go down that path. We have to do dramatic things like dancing flash mobs, marches, door-to-door knocking, the production of movies, whatever your skill, now is the time.
