    Moscow stands accused of launching a massive campaign of vote buying, funneling cash through its proxies into the accounts of ordinary voters, as well as using social media to sow fears about the prospect of EU membership leading to a direct conflict with Russia.

    Watching Putin fail never gets old.

      The funny thing is that Putin thinks he’s following the same playbook of “color revolutions”, a conspiracy theory popular among Marxists, and showing practically why it doesn’t work. But he keep trying because he believes it’s actually being used against him. So he keep failing hilariously like that again and again.

        If only he kept failing - see brexit.

          Best way to show that he did fail in the end is to kick out every politician opposed to rejoining the EU and rejoining. Before UK falls any lower.

        A conspiracy theory popular amongst delusional Marxists-Leninists, and that’s an important difference.

        Still it’s funny to see these (often) so called anti colonial thinkers struggle with the idea of self determination of other nations. Nothing can happen without American involvement, obvs.
