    This has been going since 2015. Ionov’s group worked with 2 other separatist groups back then too. One from Texas and another from California. It’s been a wild ride to follow, especially when coupled with this story.

    These groups need to recognize that:

    1. Russia doesn’t give a shit about what these groups believe in; they’re using them as influence while flashing money at them
    2. The US has all of these groups under a magnifying glass at all times and has for years. I know firsthand because I was on a police watchlist for working with one
    3. I think part of why the US is going hard against Uhuru is because they’ve funded and run a local candidate for a few years now in the city of St. Petersburg Florida. So they see that as directly trying to influence elections (despite their candidate unsurprisingly getting barely any votes in a very liberal city)

    It’s going to be a fun slippery slope watching the US try to fight against something it regularly does on every single continent.
