Russian Propaganda Exploits U.S. Divisions

Russian leaders and their state media have launched a new barrage of anti-American rhetoric, seizing on America’s political polarization. After President Trump’s return to the White House in 2025, Russian officials, including former President Dmitry Medvedev, dramatically escalated claims that the United States is headed for “civil war.” By amplifying every sign of division in American society, the Kremlin aims to paint the U.S. as unstable and on the verge of internal collapse, hoping to weaken America’s global influence and confuse its citizens.

This propaganda push comes at a critical moment. As the war in Ukraine rages on and Russia rebuffs U.S. peace overtures, Moscow’s information warfare machine is working overtime to exploit domestic frustrations in the U.S. Russian officials have used official channels and state media to circulate claims that America’s institutions are failing, and that its commitment to constitutional order is eroding. These claims are designed to sow distrust and heighten anxiety among everyday Americans, many of whom are already deeply frustrated by years of leftist policies, inflation, and attacks on traditional values.

Nuclear Brinkmanship Raises Global Stakes

The war of words has escalated beyond mere insults. In September and October 2025, an online exchange between President Trump and Medvedev led Trump to threaten the deployment of nuclear submarines in response to Russian provocations. The Kremlin publicly warned against this nuclear rhetoric, but its own officials simultaneously mocked Trump and warned that his actions would provoke chaos within America itself. This kind of brinkmanship increases the risk of dangerous miscalculations between two nuclear-armed powers and further destabilizes the international order.

While Russian officials push the narrative that America is on the verge of collapse, the Trump administration has responded with tougher policies, including the promise of expanded military support for Ukraine. Yet, the information war is as real as the conflict in Ukraine; Russian propaganda aims to erode American resolve by projecting instability, hoping that fear and division will paralyze U.S. action abroad and at home. For conservatives who value strong national defense and constitutional order, these tactics represent a direct attack on American sovereignty and unity.

Expert Analysis: Disinformation and National Security

Security analysts and policy experts agree that Russia’s “civil war is coming” mantra is a textbook example of information warfare. By targeting America’s open society, Russia tries to weaponize free speech and legitimate political disagreement to erode confidence in the U.S. government and its institutions. These efforts are not new—Moscow has a long history of exploiting election cycles and social unrest to undermine Western democracies. But the stakes are higher now, as open hostilities in Ukraine and nuclear threats add urgency to the Kremlin’s campaign.

Despite Russian claims, experts clarify that while America faces real polarization, there is no credible evidence of imminent civil war. U.S. resilience depends on upholding constitutional rights, supporting law enforcement, and rejecting foreign interference in domestic debates. The best defense is a confident, united citizenry that refuses to allow foreign adversaries to dictate the nation’s future or values. As the Trump administration works to restore America’s position on the world stage, the battle against propaganda is as important as any policy or military action.

Ultimately, Russia’s attempts to undermine America are a reminder that the defense of our constitutional freedoms and national unity cannot be left to politicians alone. Every American who believes in the rule of law, strong families, and individual liberty must remain vigilant against both foreign and domestic threats to our way of life. By exposing and rejecting Moscow’s cynical manipulation, conservatives can help ensure that America’s best days are still ahead.
