A former Pentagon contractor works with secretive sections of US special forces, then ups and moves to Russia. He gets married, radicalizes and starts popping up on Telegram channels as the leader of a neo-Nazi terrorist group recruiting Americans.

    What amazes me is that Americans still talk about the Cold War like you haven’t lost it. And without a bullet fired.

    Wait that’s a question? Of course they are doing that.

    Russia is also behind man of the far-right parties in europe, like the AfD in germany and the GRN in france. It’s old news at this point honestly.

      Russia is also behind Trump and his cronies, and noone can convince me otherwise. They may not have a fearsome military (except for the canned sunshine), but they’re very adept at undermining democracies from within. Because our Achilles heel is stupid people.

    It’s actually not Russia, it’s all been perpetrated by the oligarch called Shitsherlock, first name No.

        Give them a face to rest their boots on, and they’ll cheerfully lick the boots of their rulers.

    I just want to say that saying only right-wing groups are promoted by Kremlin is American-centric (understandable since most audience on the Internet are Americans, but this leads to insularity in discussions). The far-left is also funded and promoted by Kremlin, especially in Europe where many far-left parties are Russia-apologists, and either have lukewarm support or blame Ukraine for being invaded. There is little information if the American far-left are co-opted by Kremlin. The leftist group, in the broadest sense of the word, is nonexistent in the US because of decades of fear mongering that made the group too insignificant to gain media attention. But if we count Jill Stein and the Green Party as left, then we can say some sections of the left have been compromised by Kremlin, because Stein had been hesitant to call Putin a dictator in an interview.

    Foundations of Geopolitics was published in 1997 by Aleksandr Dugin. It outlines how Russia can become the world’s dominant superpower without warfare. It is taught in Russia’s military officers school, Putin keeps a copy in his office, and it is Russia’s geopolitical playbook. Dugin is still closely involved with Putin and Russian intelligence, and so was his daughter, who was murdered in a car bombing that was likely meant for him.

    Under the section for the United States, it says:

    Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.

    I’ve always been curious about the sentence ”Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada." What exactly do they mean by “special services?” Clearly they had something already staged in America, most likely human assets. A few years ago they discovered a cell of Russian intelligence moles, and shipped them back. Now we see that they infiltrated white supremacist groups as well, which would fit the description in the book.

    And of course our president has ties to Russia going back to Soviet era 1987, and even has a code name. His treason is well-established. He is likely one of the “special services” referred to.

        He was supposed to be in that car with his daughter, but he went back in to retrieve an umbrella, when it blew up.

        I hadn’t seen that photo before, thanks.

    Well, yes…and it’s been quite obvious for some time now.

    I can’t have been the only person who noticed the weird sudden pattern of American Neo-Nazis with hot Russian wives a decade ago.
