> I think that blaming Russians for everything is doing more harm than good. How is the pdf in any way blaming Russians for everything? The fact is that Russian intelligence services and affiliates are running disinformation operations against Americans and others. Disinformation and propaganda efforts are part of Russia's Gerasimov Doctrine, which seeks to make use of a spectrum of unconventional methods to achieve geopolitical aims without necessarily using direct military action. It's fake news, it's amplification, it's human intelligence, it's online trolling, it's hacking, it's covert action. Obviously trolling, hacking, and what not happen naturally on their own. But Russian intelligence services seek to amplify extremism and discord whenever possible. And they've been exploiting political and social strike for many, many decades.
