“Watts says that by Russia using cheaper tactics than traditional warfare – i.e. — propaganda, media manipulation and funding extremist groups – they were able to divide the U.S. in 2016.”
I think it would be an interesting documentary that explored whether Russia may have spent money to destabilize the U.S. by promoting propaganda advocating homosexual rights, same-sex marriage, wasteful and useless government programs, and the sexual revolution with its “reproductive rights” and abortion.
Russia (soviet Russia) was an old pro at this way back when. Before the Berlin wall fell, they owned the young guilt ridden W Germans. They put out so much propaganda against the USA and toward the USSR and communism. Everything commie was cool. They’ve been doing this for decades, it was nothing new in 2016. And guess what? Every country will try to influence the elections of other countries. So effing what.
They did. There is an interview with a defected KGB officer Yuri Bezmenov where he details it. The interview itself is from the 80s, but it is available in YouTube.
Same things now. Russia was caught organizing kickboxing lessons to BLM militants. Nazi boy Richard Spencer was promoted by their Russia Today TV network. They want blood on the streets.
