Bel seems desperate to dig up any source to back up his delusions that the only country that bares any responsibility for the war is the one that marched its troops across another nation's borders.

As I said. I don’t think it’s even his fault. Social media has changed the way politics are working all around the world. I have already mentioned how Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro could do the things they did thanks to masses that were basically hypnotized through social Media. I also mentioned the example of Victor Orban who is depicted as a hero in social media but is basically there to fill his own pockets and the pockets of people around him.
Now I found a nice article on Russia-backed social media operations that were used to drive French troops out of West Africa.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-africa...14865.html
Explanation: French and German troops came to the Sahel Region in the 2010’s with the decision of President François Hollande and the demand by local governments who did not have the military capacity to drive out some terrorist groups who were threatening to take over some regional capitals (and establish some sort of “caliphate” on the Model of ISIL in the Levant). Hollande said that the reason for this decision was to “return a favor” to this reason from which many young man were incorporated into the French Army in WWI and WWII. Hollande also explained that he had no agenda on the predation of natural mining resources etc. in opposition with Wagner who wants to establish itself in the region with the aim of taking the ownership copper, lithium, iron mines etc.
Quote:Article: "Russian misinformation was a factor helping to drive the French forces out of Sahel countries, especially Burkina Faso," according to Ulf Laessing, from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, a centre-right German think tank.
- So they just took the habit of creating troll armies to carry-out misinformation campaigns in order to take over any region they want. Or they feel like they are able to influence any group of people they want, especially the people who usually vote for right-wing or populist parties that they think will work for their interest. Like Victor Orban who still buys Russian fossil fuels and is blocking /together with someone) Sweden’s accession to NATO. Or someone like Georgia Meloni who is also working to make the task of French troops in West Africa impossible and is openly working for the former corrupt president Silvio Bernuscolli (Who had received a Cargo ful of Russian Vodka from Mr. Vladimir Putin). By the way: I also read that Donald Trump was invited (before his presidency) to Moscow by Putin and that he had been given a taste of the Moscovan Nights if you know what I am saying

The Article is mentioning something called “Russosphere” A social media platform that diffuses Russia-friendly information only. And I am sure it is working wonders in a country where the education infrastructure is almost non-existent so it is very easy to influence people who hardly know how to even read and write.
This has little to do with Helios’s comment but I still want everyone to get the full picture
