I'm spitballing here, and I'm probably going to get some pushback on this one (when did that ever stop me?) but here goes.

Sometimes I wonder if anti-American forces such as the Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, etc, have been hard at work at ideological subversion (remember Yuri Bezmenov?) Actually, I don't wonder that, I presume it. America can't be (or certainly couldn't in the past) directly attacked militarily, but can be corroded from within given how much freedom America has... that freedom can be used against them. So I don't wonder if it is happening, I wonder which ideas were seeded and encouraged by America's enemies.

Here is a list of possibles (you'll be able to guess at which ones I am expecting pushback on)

1. Convincing Americans to give the COVID vaccine to children (no other Western nation does that)

2. Convincing Americans to have sympathy for criminals to such a degree that they let them out of jail, or refuse to prosecute crimes

3. Funding the campaigns of candidates with extreme views

4. Convincing Americans to have such sympathy for migrants that they let them flow in en masse without controls, allowing in the spies and plants of the enemy.

5. Convincing Americans that red meat is good for them, so they die young of heart attacks and cancers, killing thousands per day without a shot fired.

6. Stirring up a race war

7. Stirring up extreme political division

8. Convincing Americans that Trump is worse than nuclear war, the Earth spiraling into the sun, Hillary Clinton eating babies, or whatever.

9. Convincing other Americans to support Trump with all their hearts.

10. Convincing the education system to stop educating people

11. Convincing them to redirect the efforts towards stopping climate change

12. Convincing them to be anti-war, so that America has less ability to exert power overseas

13. Convincing Americans that all vaccines are harmful, so they stop taking them and diseases spread again, killing thousands without firing a shot.

14. Convincing them not to have kids because humans are a cancer on Earth, so that their population weakens and dwindles.

OK. So I included (5) which I expect pushback on. I also included (11) and (12) which implicate me as the patsy. I try to be fair.

North Korea is not an anti-American force. It is a country under international sanctions by the UN. Any weakening of them would be an excuse to weaken anti-American rhetoric, that's all. The same is true for Russia. The only real anti-American force here is China, but we should not forget that China is the main trading partner of the United States.

I just listed countries that aren't on good terms with the US presently. I think they all have good reasons to be anti-American at this time.

From 1989 to 2001 under Gorbachev and Yeltsin, Russia and the US were on better terms. In 2001, Putin supported US invasion of Afghanistan to go after the Taliban, and he asked about joining NATO, but by 2002 things soured. the US withdrawal from the ABM treaty, and by 2009 with NATO involvement in Albania, Coratia, Georgia and Ukraine, Russia and the US were not friends anymore. Since then they have been in numerous proxy wars. And relations just got much worse after the special operation in Ukraine began.
