WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday released a U.S. intelligence assessment sent to more than 100 countries that found Moscow is using spies, social media and Russian state-run media to erode public faith in the integrity of democratic elections worldwide.
“This is a global phenomenon,” said the assessment. “Our information indicates that senior Russian government officials, including the Kremlin, see value in this type of influence operation and perceive it to be effective.”
A senior State Department official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, said that Russia was encouraged to intensify its election influence operations by its success in amplifying disinformation about the 2020 U.S. election and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lol. Lmao even.
Idk where youve been the last 10 years but if youre talking about Trump and Russia, there’s no hoax therr.
Its been demonstrably true a dozen times over.
I’ll drop the obvious one: Eric Trump on national tv in 2014, “We dont need American banks, we have all the funding we need from Russia.”
Trump and Russia corruption vs. Biden and Ukraine corruption.
I say we jail them both, why stop there might as well jail all past presidents for all the war crimes commited.
I don’t think the people in charge well let it happen, since that is how the system was made to work.
There has been zero evidence of any corruption involving Biden and Ukraine.
All presidents have done war crimes and much more.
It is best to let people to learn of different sides of a view themselves, instead of trying to change your mind.
Whenever discussing any type of crime or alleged crime it’s easier to discern the truth from fiction if you examine the evidence.
Just like we examined “evidence” of wmd in Iraq.
Except every Republican lead House investigation this year has said, “Theres nothing there we can charge anyone with, but we’re gonna keep pretending there is so we can creat a fake moral equivilancy!”
Watch some news that doesnt stroke your echo chamber.
With all due respect, perhaps you could revisit Assange/Snowden leaks.
With all respect, please be more specific
The ones about USA propagandizing us. NYT is the only outlet that apologized for it but iirc, said they still do it.
I tend to watch many news sources on the “left” and “right”, one major theme I keep seeing in the “extremes” is a doubt of our government and corruption.
Antiwar vs. pro war
Freedom of speech vs censorship
This you?
If you see everyone that disagrees with you as an enemy, so be it.
I am more of a 3rd party kind of person, but believe whatever comes to your heart.
You don’t seem to realize you’ve been subject to the same propaganda this article is talking about.
As I suggested earlier, revisiting Snowden/Assange leaks would behoove us all.
Yeah, I am not seeing it that way.
I see it as falling for the US military propanganda narrative.
More wars so more dividing of people by countries that neither government helps the working class.
I mean, you’re still wrong. This has nothing to do with the countries population. There’s a ton of hostile influence campaigns going on. The U.S. has done it a dozen times over in other countries, and you think it’s just us falling for U.S. propaganda? A little naive don’t you think.
Duopoly has been a thing since before Russia Gate hoax.
To force change, people need to change how we vote.
If 3rd parties grow in strength, they can use that.
Local and state is more important, but long term 3rd parties can also help.
A first past the post voting system evolves essentially into a two party system like what we have now, regardless. If you want something else we need to change the voting system we use to elect people.
Right, that’s why Biden is facing 91 federal charges.
