Russians Know Propaganda

The BBC has a good story today on how the Russians use propaganda (we actually don’t use this term often enough these days) to undermine the Ukraine in its South-East.  They are doing the same thing there that they are accused of in the US national elections- sowing discontent on both sides and watching the fires - literally - burn.  They have been doing this for longer than I have been alive, so they should be good at it, but they have adapted to the use of social media, fake news, and churning from one fake news story to another while backing up both sides with news stories from their national press outlets at RT and Sputnik.  It is looking like their success makes all that trouble worthwhile.
