    Well, don’t do it in the open. I know the whole world and their uncle let RT run their media freely for like forever, but I can’t believe Russia’s information infrastructure is so tight that a well organized task force couldn’t infiltrate it without being detected.

    Like, maybe in 2020 they could have me fooled, but after what they did in the Kyiv assault of 2022, when they fried their own comms, ECMd their own missile defenses, kept selling tank fuel for cigarettes and drinking the cooling liquid… that whole country must be a freaking clown town.

    What, do they need to send some clowns to blend in? Then do it, start some pirate news stations, get to the people and let them have an alternate point of view.

    Back during the Cold War, the East had Radio Free Europe to listen to. You could get arrested if they caught you, but people still did it. Tech has changed since then, but Radio Free Europe is still working, so they must have some infrastructure still in place. Use that, or whatever modern equivalent.
