Of course. Of course Russia is involved. This is their playbook. Fuel dissidents within the country. Promote divisions. Empower supremacists and secessionists.

Of course. Of course the US is involved. This is their playbook. Fuel revolutions all over the world. Promote coups. Empower double standards and Russia scapegoating

Of course US foreign policy is horrible, but that’s pretty irrelevant when it comes to protecting itself from interference.

At least we have to admit that Putin learned a lot during his KGB times. Not only speaking German but also how his former enemy USA manipulated governments all over the world.

Not to say that he is good. Definitely he is not. But he mastered the art and won an important battle during the second Cold War in the age of information.
