It seems like a low risk, low cost, easy method of leveraging a competing country's legal commitment to free expression and weaponising it. It also has built in deniability. Disinformation is far easier to manufacture than it is to debunk. It would be foolish to not take advantage of this.
Why is this far-fetched to many people, when there are accounts of ex KGB personnel who describe in detail the process of their disinformation campaigns dating back to the 1970s?
