    I have very little doubt it was state sponsored. There has been ample evidence there is an interest from the US to make the EU a vassal region again, regardless of who is president. Starting with spying on allies with the help of DK to AUKUS, to fast tracking a war in our region to stop our only de facto dependence on them, hydrocarbons, from being made redundant. The EU is leading the world in renewable energy, but we can’t have that, because the only coercive lever after that is direct conflict. In fact, there’s ample evidence Biden and Bojo chose to prolong the UA war with empty promises to Zelensky that are now being paid in blood. The purpose of that is obvious, when you ask qui bono. Putin didn’t want NATO at his door, RU & the US didn’t want UA in the EU, so here we are. Had UA entered the EU, the supply of hydrocarbons from RU and US would have been made redundant enough given UA has reserved estimated to be enough to support the EU energy transition to renewables independently.

      Maybe? But there’s no evidence of US-government tampering with the brexit referendum, but there is for the Russian government. I’m not going to defend the US, certainly not currently, but I’d like to see evidence before accusing the US of something. They’ve done plenty of shady stuff, so there’s no shortage of things to blame them for, but so far I haven’t seen any evidence of US state sponsored brexit shenanigans.
