@Simon - I don't watch CNN at all, actually :) (as the rest of the US news - except ABCnews very occasionally).
But I wouldn't be that much sure about the absence of Russian influence specifically inside the US. They have their agents of influence world-wide (thanks to EU sponsoring them for decades via oil/gas trade) - why should the US be the exception?
I didn't mean to put the blame for loots, etc on your 'right' or whoever. I was just trying to say, it doesn't matter for your enemies who to use in order to spread chaos. Today, they might use BLM - tomorrow they might use whoever is ready to follow Russian goals, be it right, be it communists, be it white supremacists, islamists, etc. It's just the manner they do their bloody business
