Russia's information warfare strategy aims to weaken adversaries by stoking internal divisions. They concluded--correctly--that confirming Kavanaugh would be more divisive than replacing him with another nominee, and are pushing on this wedge to weaken the US. So no, not strange.https://twitter.com/MarkHertling/status/1048192448026038272 …

Nicholas, I follow you with interest. Can I ask for your take on M. Avenatti, in the respect of "sowing internal divisions?" It seems suspicious to me that soomeone who came to us via a Trump contact (Daniels) should suddenly be inserting himself so actively into everything.

I think it's exactly what it looks like: shameless self-promotion + a certain type of media savvy. Works to get attention to get attention (and to help his clients--or at least he and they think it helps) I'm wary of complex, nefarious explanations when a straightforward one fits

That's a good point, thank you Nicholas. Sometimes the simple explanation is the right one. I lived too many years in Russia, always expecting something else to be inside the next ' Matrushka doll', if you know what i mean. I'm probably wrong about Daniels, as she hurt Trump.

My pleasure. A main goal of the information warfare strategy is to get people into that mindset: always doubting what's in front of them, assuming there's something dark behind it.
