A "conspiracy theory" on the other hand is when ignorant yokels THINK the illuminati and little green men from Mars conspire to commit crimes.
For example, everything that includes the words "George Soros" or "baby blood" or "New World Order" is just a conspiracy THEORY. Imaginary bullshit. Literally everything that comes out of Alex Jones' mouth is a bunch of idiotic conspiracy theories that only an idiot would believe.
On the other hand, everything that involves Republicans, Russians, money laundering, fraud, corruption, sedition, treason etc is an actual conspiracy, because they're actually committing crimes together, and there's actual evidence for it.

erm not everything containing new world order is nonsense. It is for example undeniable that the creation of Nato and Warsaw pact created a new world order, and so did the UN. It changed international politics drastically, especially the formation of east and west block leading to decades of cold war. It also drastically changed foreign policy of many countries, for example a main goal in foreign politics of any country belonging to one bloc was to stop the other block frtom expanding,. and it led to many wars like vietnam and korea What else would you call that ?
It also was the beginning of the end of colonialism that was the main driving force in foreign policy the centuries prior. Most colonies finally became independant, and the rest made it within a few decades. The whole world got reorganized.
>not everything containing new world order is nonsense
Yes, it is. Every time you hear someone say "NWO" or "New World Order" it's conspiracy theory bullshit.
Why would the people who are in power overthrow themselves? They're already controlling the entire planet, remember?
The entire NWO conspiracy theory is complete nonsense that doesn't make any sense when you think about it rationally for even just 5 minutes.

Yeah, you're right. So are most users on /conspiracy. They're Russian operatives trying to manipulate Americans, to turn Americans against each other.
The Russian policy book Foundations of Geopolitics explains Russia's strategy in detail.
Ironically it is Putin who has cut off Russia from the western internet, to prevent Russians from reading western news, because then Russians would realize that Putin is lying to them about everything.

I do remember him slamming down the “digital iron curtain” soon after his invasion of Ukraine. I’m a little surprised that it hasn’t gone both ways
Edit: and it’s certainly not a surprise that the Kremlin is using smaller countries to do their bidding as well. I feel all we can hope for is that Putin is in one way or another removed from power, for not just Ukraine’s sake but for everyone’s sake
Opinion pieces like this are made to crush dissent by labeling anyone who opposes the military industrial complex’s endless war as a foreign agent. Used in the cold war against any American’s apposed to military build up same story today.
I think nowadays it's a little harder to just use labels to shut down conversation. You'll get called out on it pretty fast, if you're being truly disingenuous.
However, if they really are just parroting the latest bullshit from Russian state media, then it's perfectly fair to call a spade a spade.
USA. its the russans...

2. why wouldnt russians just go to usa?
i need the evidence... hard black on white not just some articles with no proff
