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.

Right, that’s why Biden is facing 91 federal charges.

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.

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
