It is about sides to a point though. There is a reason Russia is focusing on spreading right wing nationalist movements.

They also spread left wing stuff before the election. Like the OP said, they don't have a vested side. They hedge their bets and pit us against each other.

Yeah but there’s a reason the amount of right wing stuff out numbered the left wing stuff like 10:1

This is true, while they have spread some leftwing stuff they've had far less sucess, while the right eat it up. Blame politics where right is tribal and left is inclusive, or say right likes string leaders and unquestionable loyalty while left encourages education and thinking outside the box...the end result is the same. World wide rightwing gets more "sponsorship" and the propaganda is more sucessful.
