I'm not sure why the Russians would waste time and effort with our "far left" since Farage gets so much free airtime from our state broadcaster that the far left could only dream of.
Of course viewing the Americans as unfit to be the world's policeman as it's bombs rain down on Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghans, etc in the name of furthering democracy/security is a legitimate viewpoint wherever it lies on the political spectrum, as is the observation that it's unsurprising Iran, Russia, China, or anyone else would view it as a threat to their own and wider global security. America is perfectly capable of demonising itself. It's only white western exceptionalism that would think otherwise.
On the far left I do think they consider the bodies. The brown ones.
