"none of the above is my opinion. It’s a fact. Its just that the dots are not connected, even when the portrait they paint is obvious."

On the contrary. That you say it is fact does not make it so. As you are probably aware, correlation does not equal causation, even where it is clearly evident, which is not the case here.

There are myriad flaws in this piece which is inflammatory and, indeed, constitutes precisely the misinformation that you claim to be a major tool used by Putin.

I am saddened by the state of humanity and the many megalomaniacs who are willing to harm and destroy others for their personal benefit. I condone none of their actions but am also aware that far greater perfidy is committed by institutions that we trust but behind the scenes, rather than openly as is largely the case with Putin and others of his ilk.

Opinionated fear pieces such as this do you no credit and help no-one.
