“But as it turned out, there was no hacking and dumping of internal campaign documents, as in the United States. Nor was there an overt effort to swing the election to the Sweden Democrats, perhaps because the party, in keeping with Swedish popular opinion, has become more critical of the Kremlin than some of its far-right European counterparts.” This is a typical cold war disinformation article. After a build up indicating Russian meddling we get the above quote which indicates Putin et al did not meddle. That’s no good, so we get the “perhaps” clause followed by opinions, innuendos, and circumstantial evidence introduced by the following quote: “Russia’s hand in all of this is largely hidden from view. But fingerprints abound.” I.e., Russian (Putin’s) interference can’t be objectively proven but his fingerprints have been found. Of course there are lots of other fingerprints as well and as you read on you find all the really well documented evidence of where the support of the Swedish “alt-right” comes from points to US alt-right organizations and alt-right politicians such as John Bolton and others, including Republicans associated with Trump, as well as Facebook and Google —American corporations which profit from letting alt-right groups at home and abroad use their platforms to influence millions of users. This doesn’t jive with the program (to demonize Putin) so other articles in the MSM create the narrative that Trump is in Putin’s pocket - and so it goes.
