So your argument is that the NSA knows more than I do, therefore, my argument is invalid. In making that post, you are using a typically intellectually dishonest debate tactic of saying someone else's resume is bigger than mine, therefore, they must be more correct. An intellectually honest debate really is only about two things:
* facts
* logic

I stated two facts:
1) The Russians spent about $12M over a year to spread propaganda.
2) The Democrats were requesting $1B to fight Russian propaganda.

I closed with common sense logic: $1B to fight $12M is out of all proportion and what is required is a proportional response to Russian meddling. Then I cited an article where the Pentagon had agreed to transfer $60M to the State department to counter the Russian meddling as an example of a proportional response.

So in a debate with moderators, you would have lost that argument.
