1. Frightening. I'm at 12:20 where he talks about using the country's momentum like judo.

That’s exactly why the Russians have been funding groups like the NRA.

2. I haven't even gotten that far

I started it and a few minutes in, I thought I should share it here.

3. Holy hell.

Russia has been at this for decades. We won’t be rid of them easily or quickly.

9. Decades? Try 1923. The Russians literally invented the word Disinformation.

It was both a part of their PR warfare as well as their military doctrines.

11. russians invented disinformation. republicans embraced it.

It is the work of the damn devil, and republicans are all-in on the Darkside.

6. they've been doing this for decades and CIA/FBI knows this

the end game has always been to destroy the US from within. They’ve never gotten too far though until we entered the digital age. Putin has precisely zero interest in any kind of collaboration with the US although it may be perceived as such as first. A true violent civil war with irreversible collapse of the US economy will surey satisfy him.
However, russia is also very good at leveraging and creating illusion of power. Ultimately, I don’t think they’ll prevail because he still fundamentally can’t understand people like McCain who are resistant to corruption.

7. Moral panic bullshit artists don't do much for me

10. I hear ya

Religion isn’t the answer, that would never work in this country anyway. But, we do have to find our commonality & stay united against this assault.

8. Very interesting.

I think this is proof positive why Facebook and Twitter....need to go. We have so much propaganda flooding into this country right now to make us turn on each other it is unbelievable. And, and as far “sleepers” go, I think Mitch McConnell is a Russian plant as are most GOP senators and Paul Ryan, Scott Walker. That group shows all the signs. It’s a good video, give it a go.
