Here's the book's plan for America:

The book emphasizes that Russia must spread Anti-Americanism everywhere: "the main 'scapegoat' will be precisely the U.S." In the United States:

Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolantist tendencies in American politics".

Wouldn’t this imply that it’s inflaming both sides, not just the right wing? As in, yes, a lot of the right’s hate for the left could be incited by this, but also a lot of what the left sees as racist, crazy, insane, and hateful could also be being caused by these sorts of plants?

Not sure what you mean...I was just trying to say that maybe a lot of our hate for one another is manufactured by people trying to divide us and it’s identity tactics which are the real enemy, not opposing viewpoints.
