"One Painful Debate Is Not Evidence of America’s Decline
Russia and China have seized on last week’s painful presidential debate to push their narrative that America is in terminal decline."
push their narrative that America is in terminal decline
Do... do the writers think it isn't?
they think America is like tinkerbell and as long as everyone's clapping that it's still the American century
you have a way with words o7
Russia’s state-owned Channel One covered the debate in depth, describing President Biden and Donald Trump as “small children from the nursery.” As Russian viewers were treated to replays of the candidates bickering over who was the better golfer, the presenter predicted that life itself in America would become “one never-ending game of golf,” with the United States lurching “from one big hole to the next.”
Where's the lie?
Damn, I'm mad at them too, mad that I didn't come up with that first, lmao that's fucking funny
What NYT thinks Russia-China-Iran are doing: 
what they are actually doing: 
they're doing it. they're really doing the "biden and trump's debate performance is ruzzian/seeseepee disinformation" bit.
don't believe your lying eyes, yankoids
One Painful Debate Is Not Evidence of America’s Decline
No, but like everything else is 
its not evidence but damn its a nice cherry on top of all the evidence
I mean really, it sorta is, but so is everything else
it's so pathetic how deeply insecure americans are
This asshole is at John Hopkins. They're part of the class that created this problem, that they're now crying about.
the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies
advanced, unlike those other programs which are really basic
Ah yes, it's always those scary Bad Countries that are taking advantage of us!
Beijing’s Global Times mouthpiece quoted an anonymous American voter saying, “There must be something wrong with the system,” and another claiming that the U.S. democracy was failing.
So the Global Times does a better job of reporting the state of mind of the American voter than the NYT.
They have tried to plant the idea among their own people and their sympathizers in the West and developing nations that the United States is not a democracy at all but a dysfunctional oligarchy in terminal decline.
So if Trump wins, will they accuse anyone saying he’s destroying democracy and turning America into a fascist oligarchy of being a Putin stooge?
What matters is to demonstrate that the American elections in November will be a farce, in which voters are being duped into choosing between two equally unpalatable options.
So reflecting reality, got it.
Mr. Xi’s disastrous Covid policies that sapped business confidence and lengthened China’s recovery
Shall we compare the death tolls?
America, by contrast, has so far managed to bounce back from its deepest crises.
Line on chart went up!
"This is all part of the long game for Mr. Putin and Mr. Xi, who for years have sought to counter accusations that their regimes are tyrannies by attacking American democracy."
This is just hilarious the amount of laced up soda their propagandists drink before writing these masterpiece of a dogshit.
Is this harm reduction? 
God, I guess Amerika needs a more democratic political system, else Russia will win.
The central pillar of capitalism will crumble. Shits going to get even worse here for a while, but I'm happy that other countries are going to thrive.
What leadership crisis, I thought biden just have a lil cold?
Tankie RuZZian NYT Kremlin propaganda, won't get me
They demand to be taken seriously? How about I seriously take them to the circus so they can seriously accomplish their destiny to become clowns?
