    Putin’s fifth column strategy is effective. Horrible but effective

      Nah, European strategy of destroying its economy to spite Russia is effective. Horrible but effective.

        Maybe both are horrible? The first was the topic of the article though but yeah we can add that

        Although decoupling was a reasonable move. It’d be worse if they’d try to prolong it

      Putin has no fifth column strategy. All this Putler nonsense is Western propaganda. It’s projection. He’s not a great guy, but he’s also not leading a fascist movement. And anyway, Russia has negligible ability to influence the Western electorates, despite propaganda to the contrary.

        It could definitely be a happy accident for Putin that European fascists support Russia and Russia them

            Yeah. The effort seems to be more concentrated on the normalization of and on-the-surface-level parliamentary party fascists.
