Artem Klyushin's Plan for using third party candidates to control future elections.

Artem Klyushin is one of the most devious and successful Russian agents openly operating in the US. He has been deeply involved in helping Trump and the authors of Project 2025. One writer, Anthony Andrews has been posting a lot about what he's doing, but the threads aren't gaining traction. Looks like Roger Sollenberger has picked up the story.

I think Artem Klushin's role in all this is one of the most underreported stories of the whole Trump debacle.

If you don’t do as we say we will primary you and finance a 3rd party candidate to weaken your votes.

Doesn’t matter which party they will affect, I’m not sure what can be done about it.

We should be so lucky. If he does that I'll buy a Tesla!

Gives him leverage over the frontrunner, which is what he wants.
