    I’m not saying this never occurs. I studied russia/easten Europe for years and am very familiar with the kremlin’s history. Of course it happens. It’s one of their bread and butter tactics.

    I’m saying that the string of events this person is theorizing is cut whole cloth from speculation. I think we can both acknowledge that.

    Just because something “makes sense” doesn’t mean it’s true.

      Yes agreed, self awareness is critical in an age of social media echo chambers.
