    Tbf to Russia, during “operation gladio” the CIA funded ultra far right nationalist paramilitaries all across Europe which they paid for by running the heroine game out of Myanmar in collusion with the sicilian mob. It’s the main reason for the rise of the far right all across Europe.

    To be real with Russia, the idea that they could de-nazify another country when they couldn’t even do it to themselves is a sick joke. However, the best lies have a grain of truth to them.

      Did Operation Gladio really contribute that much? Given the wave of not-quite-revolutions that hit Europe in the 60s I don’t think I’d call the operation a success, and I’d say the decline from there is a self-inflicted affair with some Russian assists.

      I wouldn’t go as far as to say main reason tbf. Russia is also actively dabbling in that and quite actively supporting parties in parliaments all over Europe
