    There’s a famous rusky propagandist that wrote a well known book some decades ago. Can’t remember his name (there are too many) or the book (think it was late cold war era), but it sounds like you’re citing from it directly. One can often understand how full of shit people are when another paraphrases nationalistic talking points so closely.

    Edit: It was Alexander Dugin; The Foundations of Geopolitics. Also a Putin mentor and policyman.

      That account is less than a month old and the literal first thing they did with it was defend Putin. Yesterday they got banned from some communities for spreading antivax nonsense. Classic stuff.

        I find it both hilarious and sad when someone parrots established propoganda; this one sounded so familiar and I’m glad I remembered who it was…
