DISINFO: The US is so deeply divided that civil war and a coup d’état appear to be imminent
SUMMARY
The US is so deeply divided that civil war and a coup d’état appear to be imminent.
RESPONSE
No evidence given to support the theory of imminent civil war and coup d’état in the US. Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about an imminent US civil war and/or massive social upheaval and state collapse in the US. Predictions about a new American civil war and a disintegration of the US have been a common pro-Kremlin narrative since the fall of the Soviet Union. One of the most popular theories was devised by Igor Panarin - a former Soviet KGB and Russian intelligence officer, a political science professor and author of influential studies on information warfare - who declared in 1998 that the United States would disintegrate into six nations around 2010.
