It's not just speculation, it is literally in writing, in Alexandr Dugin's book The Foundations of Geopolitics. It is the Russian Playbook, taught at the Russian Military Academy, and is kept in Putin's office.
Published in 1997, it outlines how Russia can take control of the world, by conquering each region without using the military. For America, it suggests:
Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".
"Instability and separatism." It sounds exactly like what's been going on in America over the last 30 years. My question is: Who are these "special services" that already existed in America? We know that about 10-15 years ago, we rounded up a circle of Russian spies, living as normal American citizens, in sleeper cells around the country. Is that who they meant? Or perhaps they include Donald Trump, who we know was given the code name Krasnov on his first visit to Moscow in 1987. Or is it all the blackmailable elected officials who have been taking Russian campaign money laundered through the NRA for decades?
BTW, here's what the book had to say about Great Britain:
The United Kingdom, merely described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", should be cut off from the European Union.
And of course we had Brexit, which we now know was heavily influenced by Russian propaganda, and accomplished exactly what the Russians wanted.
And then Ukraine:
Ukraine (except Western Ukraine) should be annexed by Russia because "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics". Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible according to Western political standards. As mentioned, Western Ukraine (comprising the regions of Volynia, Galicia, and Transcarpathia), considering its Catholic-majority population, are permitted to form an independent federation of Western Ukraine but should not be under Atlanticist control.
I have actually heard Putin himself make statements that nearly quoted this phrase:
Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness,
Almost word for word. Putin is clearly following this book. Further, the author, Dugin, is still extremely active in the highest reaches of the intelligence structure. His daughter was also an influential member of Russian intelligence, until she was killed by a car bomb that was thought to be intended for her father.
Despite the MAGAs trying to intimidate anyone from approaching the Russian connection to MAGA, we all know the truth. MAGA is nothing more than a Russian intelligence operation, using an intelligence asset that they groomed for decades. He is an authentic Manchurian Candidate, operating in full view, and with the full knowledge of the entire world.
We can all see it, it is time to end it.
