Lmfao, at the time this map was made like a third of the UK economy was state owned, roughly a third of the population lived in council housing, France had to be similar, but they aren’t as communist as Canada.

Crimea was part of Russia, the RFSR, until the 1954, until it was transferred to Ukraine without any referendum or popular will. Russians/Russians speakers have outnumbered Ukrainians in the area since it was colonized by Catherine the Great. IDK the full story on the ground, but it’s not at all suspicious that the people there would have wanted to reject the Banderites that came to power in 2014.

Drug dealers often hang out at convenience stores in not-New York too

Social media’s ability to amplify dissent and make consent manufacturing harder peaked around 2010-2015 imo. That was sort of a golden age where the tech was there, but the people who really run the show - not the spooks just running the plumbing, the information Tzars- didn’t realize their traditional outlets had collapsed in the way that they had.

US intelligence has been all over the web for for years, but Trump really rang the alarm for the spooks. Regardless of their politics, he was not supposed to win, and they could not handle one instance where they did not bend reality to their will (even if they benefitted). It drove them insane, and made a lot of people imo realize that the internet had to be “tamed” and turned into a replacement for Cable TV/Radio/Newspapers to keep the consent factory open.

I doubt they’re tier 1 operators, but it’s not as surprising as you think. Imagine if you served in Iraq/Afghanistan like 10 years ago, fighting against people way less technically savvy. It’s easy to get complacent, especially in a war like this when you’re fed so much crap about Ukrainians effortlessly crushing Russian demons.
