Suppose you are the president of a foreign country–let’s say Russia?
Then let’s say as president of that foreign country you have an old foe–generational in nature, for the purpose of this post let’s say the United States.
So, as president of this foreign country, you want to do something to really, really hurt your foe. So you come up with this idea… use the free society and social media against itself.
You then proceed to use your resources to foment dissent using Facebook, Twitter and you are able to get a deeply flawed person elected to high office. This person could possibly be compromised in a variety of ways and above all, this person has a fragile ego.
You get this puppet into office and during his entire tenure, he systematically attacks and undermines the credibility of every institution of government and society and at every turn, promotes an us against them world view.
Without a single bullet, this foreign president is able to poison his foe from within.
The question is, can the foe recover?
