Yea I can see it, but Russia is absolutely intentionally pushing us in that direction through various means.
I don’t remember which thread it was, but someone else on Lemmy said “Russia, shit military, excellent intelligence apparatus” and I think that’s a very apt description lol
Russia is definitely making a good effort at getting as much influence as the US (especially considering the influence it has on the US itself), but the parties here that aren’t out-and-out nazis are looking more towards the US than Russia, and we don’t have Russian army bases here, either. And between Facebook+Instagram and something like Russia Today, I’d say Meta’s sites are the more influencial ones, especially among people who aren’t already off the deep end.
