But seriously, if anything fucky is going on rn, my default is that Russia is behind it. Kinda sucks because it’s just another conspiracy theory, but it fits too well not to be true most of the time. The coups going on in Niger (and Mali and Burkina Faso before) are the most obvious examples. Less obvious is the disinformation campaign in Germany (and probably all over europe) against progressive policies atm.
I thought we all assumed that’s what was happening anyways

The coup in Niger is directly tied to Russia through the Wagner group. Those assholes are neck deep in seemingly half the continent’s internal strife.
