I can’t shake the feeling all of this is a Russian master plan.
Not to be conspiritorial, but everything seems to be working out in their favour from Brexit to Trump II.
RT is straight up trying to stoke the fire with even more disinformation.
Well it is.
And it’s not a secret either.
Trump is Putin’s lapdog and Putin just wants to destabilise US and EU to level the playing field for Russia.
Often Russian campaigns aim to disrupt domestic politics within Europe and the United States in an attempt to weaken the West
Russia seeks to promote American isolationism, border security concerns and racial tensions within the United States through its disinformation campaigns
Dugin even wrote a book in the 90s about their strategy,

The American mind simply can’t comprehend a plan which extends beyond the next weekend, nevermind a 70+ year vision
Foundations of Geopolitics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_GeopoliticsRussias main goal has been destabilizing the west for quite a while. The scope is immense and Putin must be laughing his ass of how well it is going.
It’s been a very long game they’re playing since Khrushchev, the objective being is to destroy Western powers from the inside.
So when they can’t use overt means like supporting “national liberation movements”, they just use agents of influence on the inside, find weak spots, and start creating the rot in the system. Eventually the Soviets are replaced with mobster plutocrats, and this time they want to break the West so that once the US becomes an empty hole in the ground they can easily move their money around without penalty. A world without laws but theirs.
It started when Obama was elected. The US wasn’t quite ready for a black president but he was so great people loved him. Then the Russian disinformation began. Then rage bots were invented. Ai got more and more powerful until now when probably 50% of online comments are not of human origin and NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT. Then n Korea figured out how to do not warfare. Then Iran. Then China.
Until like a shining star on a hill the most manipulable human to ever commit a crime started amplifying the anti American propaganda like a good little boomer and the bots swarmed to support anything he said. It started with the birth certificate 15 years ago. The Republicans couldn’t WAIT to stand in line. Then came the Christians. Then the white supremacists. Then the rednecks… all beating the drum of Russian propaganda.
Putin KNEW Trump would run the country into the ground like he did every business he ever ran. Wait, what was Putin’s specialty in the kgb again? Oh yeah… The Destabilazition of international governments through propaganda. His specialty was media control.
IT WAS OBVIOUS FOR DECADES. We KNEW Russia was engaging in a propaganda war against the American people. But the 80 year olds in government couldn’t understand any technology more complicated than a 1980’s VCR.
I fucking hate everyone for this. It was all so preventable. Another American civil war is almost inevitable. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS. THE WHOLE PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING WAS TO MANUFACTURE A SCENARIO THAT WOULD ALLOW HIM TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW AND CANCEL ALL ELECTIONS FOREVER. FUCK! CAN’T YOU SEE IT???
a pox on both your houses.
If you think Russia is the beneficiary here, you aren’t paying close enough attention to China.
China haven’t had a war since the 70s, so until they decide to go for Taiwan I’m cool with them at this point.
Because of course they are. It’s all playing into what Putin wants.
Vlad should keynote a marketing conference, because he’s still reaping the rewards from that 2015 Facebook campaign. Homie’s breaking up NATO and western democracies by bidding on shitty social media ads.
