> You're stating this as if class tensions preclude the existence or effectiveness of foreign information operations. Do you actually believe that to be true?

I'm saying, what could Russians possibly do that Americans aren't already doing to themselves? Look at: The War on drugs, The War on terror, and omnipresent surveillance. These weren't instituted by Russian agents.

And if Russia was that omnipotent, then their "special op in Ukraine" would actually be a few days "special OP".

Whatever paltry ops Russia has is like a drop in the ocean compared to what the US (or other actors) are doing on US.

Who said they're doing things Americans aren't already doing to themselves? It wasn't me! In fact I said the precise opposite: they generally exploit pre-existing divisions.

Who said Russia is omnipotent? Also wasn't me!

This, however, is an actual assertive claim of fact. Can you tell me any other intelligence services that we know has assets invited to the White House on a regular basis in order to do the actions they were hired by Russia to do?

If no, then I don't think you have evidence to substantiate this claim.
