Don't underestimate the former KGBs ability to manipulate events and manipulate world opinion. Russia is the country where all the conspiracy theories are true.
Of course.. and the US isn't manipulating events and world opinion at all right? They both use the same methods and both sides are being manipulated by forces that go beyond individual countries. Come on don't be naive.
I obviously opened a can worms here. Where is that Reptilian dude when we need him?
