Cite maybe? Like what is this even referring to? Some level of specificity would be great.

It is all fear mongering. Any foreign state propaganda drowns in superior domestic.

Disconnect the nuclear reactors from the internet allready and calm down everyone. It is not like "russian hackers" is behind the riots in the US or bad covid advice.

Yeah, the article is so vague that it can just fit whatever bias the reader has but I also suspect that the most likely biases that will be fit to this has plenty of domestic rabble rousers behind them.

I'm amazed by the daft things people believe about Covid. The best thing a foreign power could do to take out a nation would be to get them to fight among themselves, and there is fighting all over the place, from memes to counter memes, to riots in the streets.

I just can't tell if foreign agitators helped it along, or if it didn't need any help.

I would blame the prices of basic necesities (water [1], food, rent)
