How do you explain the Internet Research Agency then? What purpose do they serve?

Stealing goverment money under the premise of "we will rule the world comrade, so please allocate 100 million dollars to us ASAP" and pocketing it to buy London properties, obviously.

And of course, 50K out of 100M will be really allocated to buy some shitty FB ads to make screenshots and present it to higher-ups.

What a creative application of Occam's Razor!
Being originally from Russia, I know how things work there.

I mean, government contractors aren't saints in every country, it's a well known fact, but in Russia they are on a whole different level.
