I wrote this three years ago before the invasion of Ukraine. At the time we saw Russia using cyber attacks to test out our responses. They had cyber factories who were pumping out directed propaganda via social media. They were found to be sending out directed propaganda to support the election of Trump and to promote Brexit. They were interfering with, and undermining our democracy.
They wanted Brexit to happen and Trump elected. It paid for them to have the USA hopelessly divided with a Kremlin-loving moron in charge. They wanted the EU split and NATO weakened.
They succeeded and then invaded Ukraine. That’s where it went wrong.
What is it that Russia wants?
To divide and conquer
That is the simple plan.
Pumping out the cyber.
Doing all they can.
They want the USA divided
And Europe split apart.
Populist leaders
Who haven’t any heart.
They don’t need
To go to war.
Targetting views
Into the homes of the poor.
Spreading rumours
And conspiracy.
In some modern-day
Piracy.
A wedge between allies
Suspicion into minds.
Deep State is after you,
Break the ties that bind.
To divide and conquer
That is the simple plan.
Pumping out the cyber.
Doing all they can.
