Waaat. A far right group working to weaken a country's autonomy while dog whistling sovereignty and chanting for independence, all while being funded by Russia?? Absolutely flabbergasting

Never seen that before, who could’ve known this is an established playbook?!

This is a big reason I would love to see Ukraine win the war. I kind of suspect, that Russia support for parties like the AfD is a huge reason for their success.

Another huge part is the support by Germany's elites. The rich love the AfD and continue to support it in legal and illegal ways, ranging from legal and illegal donations to massive support from the corporate press, especially the Springer papers. Sadly, none of that would vanish even if Russian support vanished over night.

Also low key warfare with Luhansk and Donetzk "separatists".

Russia is running out of money, so it tells its foreign agents to bring it in.
