Reuters, courtesy of the EU:

Ref.: Russia deploying coronavirus disinformation to sow panic in West, EU document says

Quote:
Russian media have deployed a “significant disinformation campaign” against the West to worsen the impact of the coronavirus, generate panic and sow distrust, according to a European Union document seen by Reuters.
This is pretty typical of Russia's past actions, so I'd say it has some credibility.

It is obvious that there is some kind of agenda behind this panic. It really seems to have been intentionally stirred up by the media. The question is why? A socialist plot? Domestic? Foreign? China or Russia? Someone needs to get to the bottom of why this has happened. The virus just happened but the panic was created. It has a purpose... What is it?

What would the world lose, if Russia disappeared? Has Russia become the criminal organization it is, because of Putin, or has Putin been able to become what he is, because Russia was already that way? I'm thinking that the reason Russia has tried to destroy Chechnya, is because they don't want any competition in being the No. 1 most corrupt and dangerous country on their continent. It's ironic that Russia has demonstrated so well, how crime does not pay. They have been losing population and their GDP has been dropping steadily for many years. Will the Russian people ever find a way to purge themselves of the mobsters who run their country, so they can straighten out and fly right?

Well I would bet you that when “those meddling kids” pull the mask off the villain he will be a leftist trying to intentionally destroy capitalism for the purpose of forcing socialism upon America.

Why is it so hard to believe a foreign country can meddle in our systems?
It’s pretty feasible these days...
