> have to wonder how many separatist and protest movements are unknowingly getting external support to produce geopolitical disorder.

Many movements "wittingly" receive external support. From wikipedia[0]:

> In 2022, a report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) identified Qatar as the most significant foreign donor to American universities. The research revealed that from 2001 to 2021, US higher education institutions received US$13 billion in funding from foreign sources, with Qatar contributing donations totaling $4.7 billion to universities in the United States.

In addition to investing in US Universities, Qatar is also host to the the Hamas political apparatus, which operates out of Doha.

Foreign propagandists don't exclusively target right wing radical movements, they are very happy to exploit leftists as well!

Qatar donated to universities with branches in Qatar. That is a government funding its local universities. This is a normal thing to do.
