It's wild to me that the USA administration / theorists supported by the administration can publish work specifically praising Russia/Dictators and fascists, and that they can explicitly comm things about "operationally preparing the environment" (sowing discord, prior to further action, to ensure greater chances of success), and that they can also explicitly note in the news last year that they view Alberta as path to annexing Canada... and that this is all occurring on an American platform, which is providing payment to these 'influencers' through click-revenue.... But we've still got people trying to refocus it on Russia.
The same Russia that the USA removed from their national security lists, and dismantled their counter-signals programs for, because they view Russia as an ally (which makes the whole "we need greenland!" even more funny, like if Russia's a threat, why'd you discontinue all those programs America?? The "threat" they're referencing is the EU, and an independent Canada at this point ;p). In fact, using an EU country to launch these things, would fit perfectly into the USA administrations current ideological mindset, as they want to break apart middle nation alliances / blocks -- and it'd be a potential wedge they can push between Canada and the EU.
It's sorta like Freeland screaming about how China or Russia is the greatest threat to Canada, when the USA is right next door, is incredibly militaristic, is increasingly fascist/authoritarian, is overtly targeting Canada with economic warfare -- made explicit by social media posts by their administration even. Like, yes, sure, Russia and China are potential threats -- but there's a crazy orange diaper shitting pumpkin man with the largest military in the world actively attacking us / threatening us, right next door.
