Russian propaganda uses 4chan as an insertion vector, & HEAVILY promoted "dindu nuffin" as a racist dog-whistle - but it ACTUALLY applies to Putin & co. Putin's brutally corrupt mafia-fascist regime, cuz they're committing vast crimes while loudly saying they "dindu nuffin".

The phrase itself was popularized in part by Spencer (of chanting-"Putin is our friend!"-in-Charlottesville fame), Heimbach ("Russia is the leader of the free world"), weev (who is currently holed it up Russian-occupied Tiraspol, Moldova) & TDS, etc:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/democracy-post/wp/2017/08/22/americas-neo-nazis-dont-look-to-germany-for-inspiration-they-look-to-russia/ …

Russian propaganda constantly lies to cover up the Kremlin's assault on democracy & human rights around the world - from Russia's systematic bombing of hospitals in Syria, to Russia's shooting down airliners in Ukraine, to Russia's sabotaging elections in the US/EU, & much more.

Russia state propaganda line is that Putin "dindu nuffin". It blames his victims for Russia's attacks: Hillary just defeated herself, Americans just dupe themselves, Syrian rebels just gas themselves, Ukrainians just artillery themselves, so "stop blaming Putin" etc

So literally at the same time Kremlin propaganda was encouraging, excusing, & directing racist violence towards black Americans, it was systematically doing the EXACT SAME THING it was insinuating about them: Committing vast crimes while loudly protesting its innocence.

For that reason, you absolutely should apply the label "dindu nuffin" to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. For more info about Russian intel's attempts to suborn the US left, see this excellent article by Micah White, co-founder of Occupy Wall St: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/nov/02/activist-russia-protest-occupy-black-lives-matter … Toodaloo!
