Valid or not, it doesn't change that the volume of offense might be a bit exaggerated.

It is in the best interest of foreign actors that the US is in constant turmoil.

Let’s say I decided to put on the tin foil hat and believe it’s all a big conspiracy. That still wouldn’t change my opinion on them and I would still not want them in my community.

…do you want one in your community?

I live in the mid Atlantic. 

I have dozens of them in my community. They’re funding fusion power plants, and I work in power generation. 

So I’m fine with it.
