    The whole point is to project anger and fear into others. Once imprinted into the ignorant folk’s minds it will stay regardless if they learn it was a lie - the fear and anger become ingrained. Putin knows this too, and is using it effectively to destabilize the US and other countries - he has found it a a very efficient alternative warfare tactic that can be used openly against the US.

      Agreed and he does it in the EU also, just look at the success of right and right-extremist political parties all over the continent.
