My bf has a dream. A dream that we will both learn Russian and be able to use it as our "secret language" around other people. Haha. It does sound fun, the way he describes it.

I just read some of a report from the CIA-FBI-NSA saying that Russia interfered in the US election - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1hAte5WIAEbnw7.jpg

I genuinely don't think it could have overturned a whole election by itself, I think that the establishment wants to pin it all on that because they don't want to look at themselves and what they have done wrong. But it is a real thing that is going on and is part of things. I remember writing about the Russian troll farms - Russians are waging a war of disinformation and propaganda. They just make it too obvious for it to be truly effective though, I think - you have to consider Fox News and the rest of them have been anti-Clinton and Obama for years and doing it too, spreading disinformation too, but they don't get included.

To the best of my knowledge, I don't know Russian speakers so it could pass as a secret language in most situations in the US. I always thought of Russian language and culture as fascinating. It's too bad that leaders and politics create complications.
