[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm skeptical that this yet more Russian disinformation to get fights started up again that have been waning somewhat with Biden in charge.  [/quote]
It could be. Someone on twitter pointed out that there’s one hedge phrase in the Guardian article, something about the chain of custody, but really, does this dovetail with what we know? With what we saw in 2016, what we watched happen? Does this sound remotely farfetched? Does it change the fact that the GOP is still pumping out divisive propaganda?

This may be more Russian disinformation. But it doesn’t seem like it. [/quote]

Would the Russians really drop such a bombshell that paints Putin and Russian intelligence in such a bad light?  And likely incur even more sanctions put against them?  I doubt it.[/quote]

Putin must have enemies too.  And, it may not be Putin who leaked it.  Maybe another government's spies stole it.

Thank you James Bond![/quote]

NP here. I hope this would be the reason. Otherwise it seems like it's stirring the pot to get us to rip each other to pieces so they don't need to do it themselves. It really sucks that cognitive dissonance of the far right will mean that they immediately dismiss this as fake news and nothing will change.[/quote]

This is EXACTLY what Putin is doing.

It fits Putin’s old playbook precisely: here is his dated, but still followed, strategy book:

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

“ In the United States:

Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". 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 sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9]”

If you believe any of the “bombshell” OP posted, then you just fell for Putin’s deception.
