Russian media are describing protests in Los Angeles over immigration crackdowns and the deployment of the National Guard as "fighting, violence, and provocations." Some suggest a conspiracy is behind the demonstrations, while one compares it to "a war zone."

      They’re just making sure that their people don’t get any funny ideas, God forbid anyone reminds them that the people are the source of all political power.

      Because they’ve been working to stir dissent in the US and it’s been their playbook since the late 90s

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

      Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectariangroups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.

        I actually thought this was known since like before. I think the USSR had a plan on the US that hinged on attacking race relations

          I feel like it was probably more known when that book came out, but as social media basically enabled the KGB to do this cheap as fuck most people forgot, and the amount of people connecting “russia interfering with elections” to “russia attempting entire gameplan to destabilize the west over years and years” dropped drastically

      Gee, wonder why Poland would want to have a “color revolution” after decades of being under Moscow’s thumb?

      You know, the country Russia allied with literal Nazis to carve-up.

        This is about the United States and the idea of a color revolution is silly whenever it is brought up, in China/Russia that term is their blanket term for “the deep state”
