How can you claim that a negative is obvious if, to express it, you need to acknowledge its positive axiomatically to have something to subject to negation? Doesn't the very act of positing such a claim make it less obvious than if it were simply left unsaid?
I hope that decades of passivation had left masses incapable of being radicalised and militarised and this plan will fail (that is if Putin's plan is that). But time will tell and this hope may be in vain

Millions of hate-filled Americans have been radicalised by the insane politics of Washington and the US media. Unfortunately, most Americans don't think think that this isn't a problem.

Don't play innocent, it's you who's claiming to obviously not be a banana. I'm asking: Isn't that denial suspiciously specific?

I think you’re confused… the video author is Vlad, he didn’t mean Putin…

That goes without saying, pretty much all undercover bananas, and not only those, are fans of Vlad.

I'm not claiming anything, obviously not.

Exactly what one would expect a banana to say in this situation.
