The German peace movement durign the cold war has been fundamentally manipoulated and dircted by the StaSi and the KGB. One cna take it for granted that somethign similiar is beign done today woth Wetsenr socieites, including the American. The infleunce might be subtle and not as coarse as all to allow pointing finghers at the one traitor with the smoking gun. Its more about supporting people to gain positions and accesses that are holdign views or are likely to care less for strategies, plans, Russian actions and events that are in Russian interests, amongst these interests is to weaken the will to resist to Russian goals, and to divide America and the European nations. This could include to bring somebody into the WH that holds no basic principles and tends to see politics as something that compares to business deals exclusively, without visions or ideals. Such people could be baited with giving them what thy want - money, profit, income, a trophy, in return for them not caring if Russia does soemthignt hat it wants and that does not threaten the profane profit goals of these people.

This is not about a Russian James Bond being sent to America. Its about preventing more Russia-critical personnel to raise in the hierarchy and gaining influence in decision making, and instead have people climbing up the ladder that are more uncaring and desinterested in Russia as long as they gain what they want.

Also, and htis was the case in Germany, Greece, France and elsewhere during the cold war already, it is about to increase the possibilities that Western societies gets destabilised from within their middle by inviting conflicts being carried into these societies, or unsettling their fundaments of these societies that before were stable. Feeding the media, encoruaging social conflicts, anti-Americanism - all this and mroe were tools form the KGB text book and it got practiced, and in parts still gets practiced, or gets practiced again, on the german battleground.

And you can bet the same stuff is done on the American battlefield as well.

Again, all this, like the tactics tried out on the VCrimean, are not new, they derive from KGB operational plans and textbopoks dating back to the 60s or 70s. Delaying enemy reacitons by speading doubt. Allowing the enemy to grow false hopes delaying him further. Smoke screens in the media. Contradicting news. Not allowing to get identified in the media. Sprreading more doiubt. Dementing, and then even dementing the dementi (what Trump does for the same purpose, too, btw.). Intimidation. Threatening. Raising what-if? speculations to have the enmy getting distracted by these. And so on and on.

Nothing new under the sun - except what the West lazily and carelessly allowed itself to forget.
