Russia’s Stalking Horse

I guess most of us are pretty convinced that Russia interfered in the 2016 election in favor on Trump. And there seems to be significant support in the belief that they are interfering in the 2020 election as well.

It also seemed that their main source of attack was via social media channels, particularly Facebook. I mention Facebook not because it is particularly evil but because, despite bits best efforts, it seems to have the least amount of policing on it to remove nefarious activity. That may be nothing more than the nature of the environment, but it is an issue nonetheless.

Now I asked myself time and again what would be the Stalking Horse that the Russians would use to spread there hate and misinformation. in 2016 it was decidedly anti-Hillary and now it is anti-Biden. It certainly could not seem to emanate from Trump. Nor could it seem to come from a Republican or Conservative source. This is because it would be immediately dismissed by Liberal or Democratic sources. It had to come from a source that, on its face, had to seem to be Liberal. At the same time it had to be a source that could not pose a real threat of victory against Trump but could pose a possible threat of victory for the Democratic candidate.

Ironically, all indicators point to the Democratic Socialist who conviently joined the Democratic Party solely to run for President and who’s fanatical followers, the Bro’s, have become infamous in the last two election cycles of spreading misinformation against the supposed Democratic compatriots. In case you haven’t guessed it, I propose as my Moscow Candidate one Senator Bernie Sanders.
