Russia Airs Its Ultimate ‘Revenge Plan’ for America

As Russia’s war of aggression continues to ravage its neighbor, the Kremlin’s propaganda apparatus has been more blatant than ever before in outlining the country’s goals for its biggest nemesis: the U.S.

Last week, American intelligence officials reportedly assessed that Russian President Vladimir Putin may use the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine as a pretext to order a new campaign to interfere in U.S. elections. Though AP reported that “it is not yet clear which candidates Russia might try to promote or what methods it might use,” Russian state media seem to be in agreement that former U.S. President Donald Trump remains Moscow’s candidate of choice.

The time is coming “to again help our partner Trump to become president,” state TV host Evgeny Popov recently declared. On Thursday’s edition of the state television show The Evening With Vladimir Soloviev, Putin’s pet pundits offered an update on plans for 2024.

“We’re trying to feel our way, figuring out the first steps. What can we do in 2023, 2024?,” Russian “Americanist” Malek Dudakov, a political scientist specializing in the U.S., said. He suggested that Russia’s interference in the upcoming elections is still in its early stages, and that more will be accomplished after the war is over and frosty relations between the U.S. and Russia start to warm up. “When things thaw out and the presidential race for 2024 is firmly on the agenda, there’ll be moments we can use,” he added. “The most banal approach I can think of is to invite Trump—before he announces he’s running for President—to some future summit in liberated Mariupol.”

Dmitry Drobnitsky, an omnipresent “Americanist” on Soloviev’s show, suggested that Tulsi Gabbard should be invited along with Trump. Dudakov agreed: “Tulsi Gabbard would also be great. Maybe Trump will take her as his vice-president?” Gabbard has recently become a fixture of state television for her pro-Russian talking points, and has even been described as a “Russian agent” by the Kremlin’s propaganda machine.

If state television is any indication, the real agenda of the Kremlin’s operatives was never limited to boosting any particular candidates, but rather aimed to harm America as a whole. Dudakov stressed: “With Europe, economic wars should take priority. With America, we should be working to amplify the divisions and—in light of our limited abilities—to deepen the polarization of American society.”

that America is a dying empire—and most empires weren’t conquered, they were destroyed from within. The same fate likely awaits America in the near decade. That’s why, when all the processes are thawed, Russia might get the chance to play on that.”

Dudakov’s Twitter feed, which he maintains despite the service being blocked in Russia, offers a glimpse into his own propaganda efforts. Tweeting as “Duderman67,” Dudakov focuses on criticizing U.S. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Hillary Clinton—while boosting Trump.

On his Thursday show, host Soloviev argued that Russia wasn’t fighting against the United States with full competency just yet, and griped about losing the main weapon behind enemy lines: “the brilliantly-working structure of RT,” the Kremlin-funded state TV network that was banished from U.S. cable stations last month.

He then offered up his own ideas about how to influence American voters without the help of RT: “I would act through various diasporas. For example, I would work with the Spanish-speaking media—since America is becoming predominantly Spanish-speaking, with the colossal influence of Latin America, I would work through their press, through those narratives, moving in that direction… they aren’t allowing us to work with American media directly, but we have many opportunities that we aren’t using thus far.

Well, trump did highlight how easy it is to sway the American Public and how relatively easy it would be to overthrow our Democracy.

It sounds like it's in Russia's favor to influence our elections and get a kind of "Manchurian Candidate" elected President - someone who will cause chaos or be easily manipulated or who can be used as a pawn to influence other world leaders to take some action or inaction...

‘To again help our partner Trump’ needs to be emblazoned on every Dem political ad from now until Nov 2024.

Trump, our BFF. 😡

Umm, didn't the Trump Campaign deny they had any help from Russia?

I don't know how receptive Latin American countries will be to Russian outreach.  Mexico at least values their Freedom and Independence.

Trump certainly has made Mexicans the "Other" as was just evidenced by (insensitive to say the least) comments made by family members at my Family Easter Celebration.  DD was so mad that she decided to leave early (she did not challenge the comments), and DH was also offended.  DH had commented about it on the way home, and DD called me yesterday to tell me why she took off like a bat out of hell from the party.  My DS was talking to my niece's husband about his sister coming to visit from Africa.  Apparently they are having trouble getting her visa approved because she is young and childbearing age.  My DS threw out some comment about just go to Mexico and cross the border like all the Mexicans do.  DH and DD said it is not really that easy to come across the border, if you don't have the proper documentation.  It is all Trump BS to stir up hatred and division.
