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.
Why yes, I’m also saying that the US is a Russian asset. That’s precisely my point
Then you’re a conspiracy theorist without any material analysis of reality. The nation with a GDP smaller than Germany is supposed to be controlling the largest empire in the history of the world and hegemon for the past 80 years in your worldview. This is simply because american exceptionalism runs so deep in your mind that you can’t conceive the US abandoning a former ally (as it did countless times) without the interference of “le other evil country”.
What do you mean by no basis in reality? I’ve read books on this, listened to entire podcasts, and read the news regularly from various international publishers. I’ve even linked to some credible sources right in this thread. There’s extensive coverage on the tactics and history of Russian meddling in the US. And I’m not even American for crying out loud. Anyone who has been paying attention and doesn’t have a vested interest in covering for Russia based on ideology or a paycheck can see this clearly. But I can see why someone with your username would have a bone to pick with anyone criticizing Russia.
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.

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”.

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

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.
“The truth is the truth: the USA is a vassal to its much weaker geopolitical enemy Russia”.
No, but Wikileaks has most definetly been exploited by Russia
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

I didn’t bring up the Russian people, and my previous comments clearly specify “Russian state apparatus”, I don’t know what you’re talking about
Says the one using persecution of the Jews by the Nazis in comparison to people rightfully calling out Russian assets…?
No attempt, they do already.
