The unifying motive in Russian propaganda efforts of the last several years is to destabilize other centers of power by exacerbating divisions between and within countries Russia considers less than friendly, particularly in NATO.

Their manipulation with regard to Brexit, Catalonia, and multiple and ideologically-opposed sides in the 2016 US Presidential campaign, among others, all fit this pattern.

OK, so in the space of one post now a Russia-Catalonia connection has progressed from being "alleged" to being stated simply as fact, as if it doesn't even need substantiation at all.

Your post is kind of reminds me of this:

A vast shadowy conspiracy which is connected to absolutely everything, even when there are obvious long term political trends that made all these outcomes predictable. Nope, not crazy at all!
