I think you’re assuming that Russia is being led by super geniuses that are able to manipulate every possible narrative.
Russians aren’t super geniuses. Trump is certainly not a super genius either. And we saw Putin make the completely stupid move of invading Ukraine.
Not saying the US will definitely do something like invade Canada. But when a country is run by idiots, we can’t really predict anything they might do.
How “genius” do you think it is to pay several hundred volunteers to get on forums and act like americans and inflame every conversation they can find by taking the most extreme positions? How genius do you think you need to be to pay some programmers to make you an army of bots? How much brainpower do you need to break things?
Human beings are terrible judges of literally anything happening outside their own perception range, which is why you have so many simultaneously contradictory feelings about the motivations of others, either it’s all a huge conspiracy involving JFK and aliens and Roswell, or it’s absolutely nothing at all and we’re all getting “worked up over nothing” while for reasons I still cannot explain… fucking ignoring the realistic middle fucking ground where actual political operations take place.
