Something else we discovered were the
depths of Russian involvement in
election and referendum meddling last
year. An involvement which was as
jaw-droppingly brazen as it was
successful,
typified by natterjack-toad-reflected-in-a-doorknob Nigel Farage's
many appearances on so-called "news service" RT or Russia Today.
And that time he was spotted visiting rumoured sex pest, hard-left darling, alt-right icon and
fellow Russian stooge Julian Assange...
under cover of broad daylight.
I did meet Mr. Assange this week and could I just say to those out there who are becoming
wildly conspiratorial: it was nothing like that.
It all plays out spookily similar to "The Foundations of Geopolitics" by Aleksandr Dugin,
a political handbook from 1997 for getting Russia back from being a hilarious
basket-case with no potatoes to being
important on the world stage again.
It's so popular amongst Russian speakers that the speaker of the Russian parliament
urged it to be made a compulsory part of
the school curriculum; along with living
in constant fear of being sent to
Siberia, ratting on your neighbours and
group masturbation sessions over
pictures of their supreme obergruppenführer
roaming around shirtless on a
horse.
A-hem.
"Georgia should be dismembered,
Abkhazia and United Ossetia to be incorporated into Russia."
Check!
"Ukraine should be annexed by Russia."
Check!
"Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism."
"Russia should introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity,
encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts;
thus destabilising internal political processes in the United States."
Check!
Oh here's my favourite bit
"The United Kingdom should be cut off from Europe."
Check and mate.
