Even American forces are seeking to destabilize the politics of NATO countries, most notably Canada. We’ve been getting bombarded by far-right propaganda from the US recently and it’s been harming our democracy.
To extent, yes. But it’s more of a profit motive there. They promoted the convoy bullshit to generate ratings to make money. US media coverage of foreign protests is always about pushing a narrative that’s relevant to Americans, otherwise they won’t be interested. And something like 90% of the newspapers in Canada are owned by the Postmedia group, a US owned company. So it’s almost more of like the US dominating Canadian media, rather than merely influencing it.
Though we should also recognize that there is bleed over from efforts to destabilize the US, which for obvious reasons is the focus of these efforts. Cultural similarities and US dominance of Canadian media means that destabilization of the US will result in some level of destabilization of Canada.
But given the strong correlation between anti-vax movements and support for Putin in Canada (along with evidence that glavset has been actively targeting anti-vaxxers) it’s clear that it’s not all just Canada being destabilized simply from links to the US. The Chinese influence is well publicized, Russian influence has been proven. Iranian influence is becoming more apparent as well.
So yeah, don’t trust anything you read on the internet. A lot of countries running a lot of disinformation campaigns.
