"We have to think about what we’re doing, and what we have to do is try to stop the suffering in Gaza … but for them to call for a ceasefire is Mr. Putin’s message,” she said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he would like to see.”
“I think … some of these protesters are spontaneous and organic and sincere,” Pelosi said. “Some, I think, are connected to Russia. And I say that having looked at this for a long time now, as you know.”
Accurate or not, it is Russia’s MO. Still, they wouldn’t have gotten far with it. They could stir up the pro-Israel crowd a little more.
I don’t think any other countries with bad intentions needed to add fuel to this particular fire in any significant way. It was a shit-storm that has been brewing for years, on its own.
