I don't think Russia would ever fall under our sphere of influence. Their media is much too tightly controlled and Russia itself is pretty much the master of social media influencing.

But it's a very interesting insight, that he might think we play the game like he does. And I wouldn't rule out that the EU had a hand in the political changes in Ukraine. There's been some rumblings about it. Not sure if it's another misdirection campaign or real. And I know we don't have an unblemished history either.

Most of the population in Western Ukraine seems to be pro EU though. And I don't think that's a result of influencing.

Ps Thanks for pointing out the typo. I know the difference but it must have been auto correct, I'm on my mobile.
