The first sentence of Ryuu's post tells you why it doesn't make sense, especially the "far-right" part.  Far-right politicians have started spewing filth on behalf of Russia,  it would seem.  I think it's a result of Russian money being spent creatively to get influential people on their side.  

Well, the far right often does seemingly make sense, but this is just blatant nonsense with no redeeming qualities, seemingly or otherwise. I guess if you've already decided what makes sense, regardless of the facts, then yeah, that nonsense can also make sense, but you're got to be really deep in nonsense in the first place for that to work.

Well, often when people create these artificial realities where they are paid to act a certain way or they are acting in a way that would be contrary to their nature, the whole thing doesn't make sense at all.   That's often a red flag for me, which tells me that something isn't right about the situation.
