In the back of my head, I hear a voice that says, "Is that you Putin?"

Putin has been doing things like this on the Internet and maybe hasn't moved on to assigning people to do it in person...yet. Or maybe this person was merely encouraged by Putin propaganda.

I know a lot of racism is already built into our society but how much of it is Putin inspired? I just wonder.
