Very interesting.
Now back to millions of false posts trying to stir up pro Brexit anger and anti Muslim hatred. That is not in a history book. That happened and is still happening and has been more successful than any Cold War measure. Even better for Russia, they can wage a propaganda war from St Petersburg with little physical risk.
It works so well that the targets, although repeating what is in the propaganda, claim that they weren’t affected by it. Not everybody voted leave because of Russian influence. Even the Russians know that. The target was to hit the undecided and swing it enough by convincing a relatively small percentage of voters.
Bingo. It worked and Grendel is deflecting to a histocal narrative to avoid further discussion on electoral manipulation.
And, seeing as Banks avoided mentioning all but one of his Russian meetings before an investigative journalist pulled the information out, it seems there is something going on or something went on. I would like to know what.
