Looks like Putin's got democracy on the run

That’s according to the Globe & Mail’s Mark Mackinnon in a two-pager in today’s paper. (Still only $6.30 you know where.)

That Putin chappie must be an absolute genius. There he is, running rings around the cabal of “liberal democracies” who feel oh so threatened by Russia, and he’s doing it with a military budget that is one tenth that of the USA!

How is that not genius?

Some very clever person produced a graphic showing just where and how Putin’s minions are undermining democracy. I notice that Canada has been the victim of “disinformation.”

Is that because we Canadians can, of our own free will, read the news on Sputnik or RT?

Or is it because those propaganda outlets for Putin had the nerve to tell the (true) story of our Foreign Affairs minister’s Nazi grampa?

Just for fun, Murat Yukselir should root through the annual reports of the National Endowment for Democracy over the past ten years and produce a graphic showing where the US has been meddling.

This entire narrative of feigned horror at Russia’s undermining of democracy is a bit over-ripe in my opinion.

Nobody, but nobody, interferes in other nations on the scale that the US does.
