I believe it.
People are generally ignorant of how the Kremlin, and more recently the CCP, are using social media to divide democratic countries.
Same. The Russian IRA follows a simple, time-tested method: do whatever you can right now, little by little.
Most of it is just simple opinion shaping (try to connect the anger of internet strangers to the EU, US, liberals or the left). The interest slowly accumulates. Spreading bedbug hysteria causes just a little harm to France's reputation, causes just a small bit of disillusion in its people and reduces Olympic revenue by maybe just some 10'000 euros -- but ever so slowly, it alters the overall course.
