General Discussion

It’s all been asymmetric warfare.

Russia realized our main weakness were capitalist social media enterprises, and weaponized that perfectly in 2016. It was cheap, and didn’t require a single bullet. In their reasoning the people in this country were ripe for this sort of division. They exploited this as well or better than they did during the col war when southern governors set dogs loose on civil rights activists.

This time, they just needed a few people that would do their bidding and they found that in Zuckerberg and Trump. As long as the money was coming in they didn’t give a fuck.

Ever since, they (and China) mostly had to sit back and do more of the same.
