Theory: Putin knows something about Tatars and Russian Jews Headline: Putin says Jews, Ukrainians, Tatars could be behind U.S. election meddling “Maybe they are not even Russians, but Ukrainians, Tatars or Jews, but with Russian citizenship, which should also be checked,” he said. The background is that the US found some Russians, not yet proven to be state operatives, running a PR agency targeting Americans. Putin tried to deflect any bad ideas about Russians onto other nationalities. I'm going to set out a hypothesis: Putin knows of people meeting his descriptions who did do something that had an effect on public support in the US elections. Russia might have had a hand in it and used them as fronts. "Ukrainians" probably means the Soros network, which we all know about. Do we know of anyone meeting Putin's description of "Tatars or Jews" who can be tied to Russia and who may have involved themselves in the American election?
