Haven’t followed French protests closely but last wk I realized that Russians were involved w inciting protests and running a coordinated op w Dugin, far right politicians, and others to amplify the divide. Same people, same methods used, diff op. Time for the West to wake up 
Don’t understand what it will take for the West to realize that we all want to avoid war but Putin has brought war to our doorsteps. It’s not bombs dropping but it’s worse. A complicated multi faceted war meant to bring chaos and turn citizens against each other #GiletsJeunes
Thread w some info on Dugin who was very heavily involved in the US via white supremicists to make sure Trump gets elected
I just realized that French protests w Russians running their ops started approx at the same time that Russia attacked Ukraine in the Sea of Azov. It’s in Putin’s best interest to have European countries have chaos at home while Putin is militarily preparing to enter Ukraine
The attack on Ukraine was Nov 25th and Dugin starts promoting the French protests on Nov 28th. Over the past few weeks Russia has been quietly moving military and making preparations while Europe is experiencing this. NATO was also making preparations to send ships to the region
From the spring in Putin’s plans. Meanwhile the online movement was founded May and took to the streets in Paris in Nov
The demands by regular citizens are legitimate and should be heard. But the new talking points added of leaving NATO is curious. Russia looks for weaknesses and exploits them to cause division in chaos
