    I saw the RAND document on RT. Flabbergasted!

    I am very propganda conscious so I immediately read it looking for signs that it was fake. I.e. dodgy English. But as far as I can tell, it's got every sign of being compiled by a young think-tank employee with legal training "shall this, "shall that".

    I noticed no non-native English grammar mistakes, missed definite articles, incorrectly used words or expressions or anything to indicate that anyone other than a young, reasonably educated think tank employee, with some limited legal background wrote this. Exactly as you would expect if it was genuine.
    Native English speakers, do you agree with my assessment of language?

    If it was a plant, it's very unlikely that it would be in native English with the exact type of tone you'd expect from the type of employee who'd write something like that.

    Also the fact that it doesn't seem well aqcuainted with real conditions in Ukraine, is probably a further confirmation that it's genuine; a Ukrainian or Russian who hypothetically created this for propaganda reasons would be better informed about the real situation in Ukraine.

    The fact that RAND denies writing it, means nothing.
    This is exactly how the US does these types of operations; through instructions provided by privately or gov't funded think tanks.
    It's how the flower and colour revolutions are planned.

    Obviously now that it's been revealed, they'll have to re-rig the plan so it's not too obvious when it's later implemented.







    @14Russian: I'll let your rant slip because I assume you were drunk when you wrote it. Feel free to clarify what you mean when you sobered up because it made no sense whatsoever.

    @hddscan: You are a breath of well needed fresh air in this forum for sure. Keep it up!

    These plans were pretty obvious from the very beginning.
