      Why would Putin be behind this when Trump has openly talked about annexing Canada and has just recently met with Alberta separatists??

      I swear, Westerners will use any excuse to blame China/Russia. There could be an American pedophile procuring children for American politicians and they would still blame Russia. Oh wait… they actually fucking did. Wake up and smell the shit from your own political class.

      The West breaks itself by being imperialist warmongers. Some slop Youtube videos ain’t gonna do shit.

          From what we know right now, Russia being behind this is just conspiracy theory. A bad conspiracy theory because it doesn’t make any sense:

          Let’s say you want to make your geopolitical rival weaker. It makes sense to promote California separatism because they would lose a state that massively contributes to its economy (this is assuming that the news is accurate and not just US propaganda). It doesn’t make any sense to promote Alberta separatism and give your enemy an extra free state, because that makes it stronger.

          This is exactly what the US does when funding Radio Free Asia: it promotes separatist movements in China.
