If you were a nation set on damaging or destroying another, stronger, nation what better way than finding yourself in control of a nut job wanna be Hitler?
Sowing chaos, uncertainty, fear in a nation already divided and at ideological war with itself would be easy for a manipulative fuck like Putin.
For a real conspiracy theory lets try this on for size:
Putin, startled at his apparent success at placing trump in the White House, decides to push for his ultimate goal...crushing NATO. He has damning evidence on trump not only on morals but also how trump is in massive financial debt to Russian mobsters.
He tells trump to claim to the NATO allies that he doesnt think NATO is useful anymore. This sends NATO allies into a frenzy of doubt and retrenchment. Exactly what Putin wants, considering his end game is the reconstruction of the USSR.
Then Putin is handed the golden bullet called COVID 19. His scientists advise him of its lethality and transmissibility. He sees and understands what he needs to do next to carry out what was once the Soviet Unions grand promise...to crush the United States, Nikita Khrushchev announced that Russias policy was to bury the United States. This has been a goal since world war 2 when we hesitated in aiding Russia in its efforts to defeat Hitlers invasion. 20 million Russians died in that war and they have never forgotten nor forgiven the United States actions and in the delay of aid.
Putin forces trump to fail in the federal governments response to COVID-19. Trump being trump fails to see the potential consequences and is perfectly willing to follow his heros orders.
Yesterday the White House announced that it would no longer attempt to contain the viral pandemic, it was surrendering. Surrendering to massive COVID-19 deaths, surrendering to Putin, surrendering American lives on the alter of hate and fear and vengeance. They know the American people are about to wipe them out of the white House like the pestilential disease they are. This too is payback from them for what is about to transpire on November 3.

People have the information, they've grown up knowing about how to avoid getting sick, and now faced with something deadly, they've decided to welcome it with open arms. I don't use our evil, moronic president as an excuse anymore.

How about we don't spread conspiracy theories on DU? Plenty of other social media for that.
