it’s pretty obvious to me ( european) that russia tries to undermine Europe and USA to make them pay for the economical measures it has taken against it since the ukraine incident.
Yet to say that this is not the will of the people look like a bit of a stretch. Nigel farage isn’t a russian spy, trump didn’t invent the issues with taxes and immigration at the mexican border.
What russian sponsored media only need to do is to let local people whose opinion are generaly banned from the mainstream media speak freely and reach the general audience.
It forces mainstrem political party to stop being lazy, and talk about the real everyday issues, instead of relying on what’s morally right or wrong to think.
Call me an optimist but i truelty think that it could in fact save europe and democracy in the long run.
- jonathanstrange 8y agoRussian involvement seems to go a bit beyond that, there seems to be a lot of money flowing into Europe right now into far right and anti EU movements. Take for example those mysterious payments to the AfD via Switzerland, and it's likely that this is only the tip of the iceberg. That's not just Russian money or influence, though. Take a look at Steve Bannon's activities, his goal is to destroy the European Union in order to make European states as weak as possible.
