    Here’s a fun fact, a large part of the far right movement in the world is due to years and years of unchecked Russian propaganda coupled with the modern social media platforms, in fact Russia has embraced this to the fullest and is running propaganda in Africa/Latin America and assisting human traffickers in an attempt to generate MORE refugees.

    just look at some of the trends, the American southern border has more people than ever trying to get across in boarder cities, and the amount of refugees crossing the Mediterranean has jumped by over 200% in recent months.

    Now, there is plenty to criticize in the handling of the refugees by the EU and the US.

    But it doesn’t change the fact that Russia is activly doing this in an attempt to assist the far-right pushes in the western world.
