re: #295 yma o hyd

I can’ help wondering what Putin is making of all this …
Is he giving ahmadinejad some advice, learned in the war against the Chechens?
Or is he thinking about ways to stifle his own opposition?
I’m sure young, tech-savvy Russians are watching this all!

At a guess? He’s got some section of his secret police working very, very hard on disinformation strategy and tactics. If you can’t shut the information systems down, turn them to your advantage.
