    All these posts are paid for by Russia and Trump. Any post this obviously disconnected from reality is pure paid propaganda.

        Are you living under a rock? These Russian (and other nations’) disinformation campaigns targeting the US have been very well documented ever since the 2016 election and the Cambridge Analytica scandal. A barrage of books and endless articles, as well as the occasional news scandal, have made the rounds constantly. It’s almost impossible not to notice.

        Also, what is your point, exactly? Do you expect them to identify themselves with their country of origin? They’ll obviously try to blend in.

          Does the Russian state apparatus attempt to utilize social media for its own interests? Absolutely. Is the impact of Russia in western, American-owned social media any more significant than American state apparatus impact or EU state apparatus impact? Absolutely no.

            Right now, one could say that the Trump administration is an extension of their campaign. They’ve been deeply intertwined for decades, and it’s safe to say that they’re all compromised.

              Huh, funny, I thought it was the Democrat establishment funding the Trump Campaign as per Wikileaks.

                That’s kind of a curious thing to bring up.

                WikiLeaks is arguably another Russian asset, or at the very least a “very helpful stooge”.

                https://www.britannica.com/topic/WikiLeaks#ref350540

                https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/mar/18/wikileaks-russias-useful-idiot-its-agent-influence/ (2019)

                Not to mention that the Clintons are also probably compromised via the Epstein files.

                https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c79l38vl3lwo (2025)

                Somehow, and whether one likes it or not, it all points back to Russia once again.

                  Oh, I see, everyone except the USA is a Russian asset. Wikileaks being a Russian asset, lmfao, most American thing I’ve ever heard.

                  You’re literally using “Russia” the same way Nazis used “Judeo-Bolshevism” almost exactly 100 years ago.

                    You know, you can deny reality all you want, but that doesn’t change what @[email protected] said. The truth is the truth.

                    Why yes, I’m also saying that the US is a Russian asset. That’s precisely my point. They’re certainly using it to maneuver a win in Ukraine.

                    I don’t know what’s so hard to believe about any of this given its trajectory for the past decade. Lol

                    The Russian government and Russian people are two very different entities. Pulling the random Nazi card is just further proof you’re in the wrong here.

            Does the Russian state apparatus attempt to utilize social media for its own interests?

            No attempt, they do already.
