There seems to be something slightly unhinged about that crowd.
Russia is NOT the US. They are indeed capable of such diabolical plots. They have a long proven history of it. The KGB and their successor, the FSB, were/are masters of the art of deception.
And there’s nothing they like and need more than simpletons who can’t begin to grasp the complexities of their evil schemes.
The Russians are masters at chess, thinking many moves ahead of their opponents. Most of us, unfortunately, suck at simple checkers. I’m sure they must laugh their butts off at how easily they can manipulate minds and effect opinions here in the States.
