Russia’s Foreign Ministry has been drawing up plans to try to weaken its Western adversaries, including the United States, and leverage the Ukraine war to forge a global order free from what it sees as American dominance, according to a secret Foreign Ministry document.

In a classified addendum to Russia’s official — and public — “Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation,” the ministry calls for an “offensive information campaign” and other measures spanning “the military-political, economic and trade and informational psychological spheres” against a “coalition of unfriendly countries” led by the United States.

. . .

The document for the first time provides official confirmation and codification of what many in the Moscow elite say has become a hybrid war against the West. Russia is seeking to subvert Western support for Ukraine and disrupt the domestic politics of the United States and European countries, through propaganda campaigns supporting isolationist and extremist policies, according to Kremlin documents previously reported on by The Post. It is also seeking to refashion geopolitics, drawing closer to China, Iran and North Korea in an attempt to shift the current balance of power.

    Russia is seeking to subvert Western support for Ukraine and disrupt the domestic politics of the United States and European countries, through propaganda campaigns supporting isolationist and extremist policies…

    And it’s certainly not a coincidence that those isolationist and extremist policies are being actively promoted by the MAGA Republicans.

          Friend, either you’re closing your eyes to a situation that you do not wish to acknowledge. Or, you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of a pool table critical race theory in your community. Well, you got trouble my friend, right here. I say, trouble right here in River City.

      What?! That effeminate crooner who used to do shows in shimmering outfits and capes?! I’m so confused I don’t know what to think anymore…

      Edit: I mean anyone can wear shimmering outfits and be effeminate and not also be gay, but Liberace… I mean come on, it was obvious.
