I wish. But the republicans would never.

I hope you're aware the West isn't just the US (or worse, that republicans are in control of the entire West), and neither are the information related to this leak just about the US.

I am, I’m Swiss.

But the fact is by far the most active, successful and offensive western intelligence agencies are in the United States.

You don't need highly skilled intelligence officers to pour disinformation into social media. The largest hurdle is the language barrier but aside from that it would be doable by people like you and me. The last decade or so really showed how easy it actually is, because there's just enough gullible useful idiots who buy into this shit, helping to spread it even further.

What I mean more by this is that european intelligence agencies tend to have:

  1. far stricter limits about what they are allowed to so
  2. far less funding

Hence why I suggested private groups. We've seen it successfully in Germany from the other side with groups like Reconquista Germanica, which completely changed German comment sections to the worse since the refugee crisis. People need to organize and pool their knowledge into their own networks to destabilize Russia.

I’d love to read more about that if you know a source :)

Yes, fascists are in control of white supremacy (aka "the west"). It's only the nationalist branding that changes.
