Predictions for This Year's Russia Surprise?

Post by honorentheos »

So every Presidential election involving Trump to date has included the Russian propaganda machine dropping an October surprise. In 2016 it was the DNC emails which dropped almost immediately after reporting started on the Access Hollywood clip where Trump had talked about sexual assault as a normal thing. In 2020 it was the Hunter Laptop fiasco. The US intelligence community learned lessons from 2016 that Trump and Russian shills don't like, but let's acknowledge Intelligence Ops are a game of cat and mouse. This year I am assuming the Russian machine has new tricks it has been working on that will make the 2024 drop different in look and approach if still being the same in intent.

So, any bets on what it will be or what will make it unique? We are close enough now it has to be past development and into early implementation.

One I could see being an absolute mind**** would be a concerted attempt to make distrust in the results of the election justify a much worse January 6 event. Things like attacking power grids in areas where the votes are strongly for Biden combined with "leaked" supposed evidence of plots to stuff ballots in those locations for example.

Crazy? Yeah that is. But if 2020 taught us anything it's that no bingo card square is really out of play.

That's an interesting one. North Korea and Russia coming to the aid of their buddy Trump would be wild. Another crazy bingo card square one would normally believe unthinkable except 'Trump'.

The RNC seeking admittance into the Russian Federation... but that wouldn't be a surprise. Nevermind.

The hacking and/or manipulation of Biden's health records.

Alternatively, Trump will negotiate to bring Evan Gershkovich home just before the election.

My guess, after seeing the Russians parked right next to the Trump plane for two days is his campaign will go full Q Anon, and dive head long into fascism. They’ll probably call moderate Republicans traitors to the country, and push for violence through innuendo and, and I’m embarrassed for our country to even type this, meme warfare.

Ultimately the goal is to break apart our Union, which, again, is part of Russia’s geopolitical strategy - please, for the love of god, get yourself a copy of The Foundations of Geopolitics, or if you’re feeling spicy, The American Empire Should Be Destroyed:

The amount of people totally brainwashed by their propaganda is disheartening.

If we can predict it, it's not a surprise.
