A former Pentagon contractor works with secretive sections of US special forces, then ups and moves to Russia. He gets married, radicalizes and starts popping up on Telegram channels as the leader of a neo-Nazi terrorist group recruiting Americans.

They have a long history of supporting both ends of the spectrum and really anyone they deem will destabilize the hegemony. Noam Chomsky used to be such a regular guest on RT he could have been considered staff back during the Iraq war. The difference is that they have had wild success with the far right to the point that no one is even really hiding it anymore. Trump and brexit being the biggest successes on the books.
Also, they don’t want the left to win.
They don’t want moderate left (or democrats, whatever they are). They would be happy to prop up a far left group if they were actually a threat to the state (in fact, under the same policy, the USSR did just that). Their goal is to destabilize, not push ideology. Keep an eye out for isolationist left comments -anything that serves Russias plans. They do have their left bots.
