Militarily, I agree. But Russia is actively (and successfully) eroding out democracy and societal coherence. They don't need to win militarily if they can instead promote infighting and help corrupt and russia-friendly parties rise to power.

This is obviously more a risk in the US than in Europe.

Blaming the rise of the far-right on Russia is a bit absurd. Immigration isn't popular even if you think it should be.

There is plenty of evidence that Putin is propping up far right actors all over Europe, is running considerable Desinformation campaigns but yeah it's all those pesty immigrants fault /s

[holoduke]

Evidence by who? Der Spiegel, BBC, La Monde? All in the pockets of warmongering western institutions. Do not believe those networks.

I sincerely think you need to understand that people can have different beliefs and values than you without that being the result of misinformation.

[const_cast]

If those beliefs just so happen to perfectly mirror Russian propaganda then it's probably just Russian propaganda.

When it's getting to a point where far-right leaders appear to care more about the prosperity of Russia than their own nation or their allies... yeah it's probably misinformation. At best. At worst, it's targeted propaganda - lots of bots online!
