    That’s not quite right. Russia is not conservative in the American sense of the term, although they are far right in terms of authoritarian rule. They’re an oligarchy. But their 10-year psy-op against American conservatives has been incredibly successful. They are up to their eyeballs in Russian conditioning and behavioral modification.

    It’s actually incredibly impressive. Turns out that Russia won the Cold War, and their greatest former adversaries (American conservatives) ended up being the United States’ weakest link at the end of the game. Endlessly fascinating stuff.

      They are ultra conservative in internal politics and in public opinion, which is of course controlled by their state controlled media.

      Russia’s internal policies are wet dreams of American conservatives.

      Much of this situation is because of the Russian long running psyop campaign against American public opinion. Dividing nations is default Russian psyop playbook. They have been done that all over the world, and they are proud of it.
