I thought that The Hill——wrote about The Hill.

Part of the old Soviet disinformation playbook was to spread a bunch of equally kinda-sorta plausible theories about the US, NATO — whatever thing the Politburo wanted to hide from, and never have the truth see the light of day.
The rise of social media has caused Mr. Putin and his minions to dust off the playbook. By getting people to think “agents are killing dissenters”, the FSB/GRU deter people from open dissent.
Perhaps I’m a bit in the rough here, but tracking disinformation is a good way to defeat it. We need to see how the Baltic states & the Poles fight disinformation, and adapt it to our circumstances.
Perhaps to remind us that former-KBG apparatchiks are still capable of poisoning disfavored political elements?
In July, Pussy Riot did a protest at the World Cup and embarrassed Putin. 3 days ago, 2 of the female group members were arrested and this member got poisoned.
Its interesting to see what's happening over there... Putin deals with his enemies. Of course if they had pissed off Hillary, they would instead commit suicide (2 bullets in the back of the head).
