    Makes you wonder what kind of disruptive narratives they’re pushing online that aren’t Russia-related.

    What kinds of trends would they want to amplify in western online communities to cause the most harm over time?

      Like how a remarkable proportion of pro-Russia social media accounts were also antivaxxers during COVID?

        Don’t forget climate change denial.

          Which is particularly beneficial for Russia as their useless land will become prime agricultural land and they’ll have access to more warm water ports.

            They say the same for Canada and it doesn’t work like that. It isn’t going to warm enough, increased variability is even worse for crops, and the soil typically isn’t good for agriculture anyway even if the temperature was better.

              Correct, it does help Russia’s energy economy right now though.

              Most of Canada is Muskeg or the Canadian shield. (rock)

              We wouldn’t gain much more usable land than we already have. About the only advantage is I won’t have to shovel my driveway anymore.

      Anything the modern far right champions today is destructive to the US so… the entire conservative political ideology.

      The Russian information doctrine is to fuel any fire that has two sides. They don’t actually pick sides, they just want nations more divided, because nation that is divided cannot function properly.

        They definitely pick sides. There are cases where they’ll specifically support the other side for a specific rally or action if they think it can cause disruption and strife, but those cases are an exception to the rule.
