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.
You are right, threads go on tangents.
this wasn’t a tangent, it was a u-turn 16min after the article was posted
first thing that came to mind was comparing it to us the USA.
then the exact propaganda that’s being talked about in the article has worked spectacularly. congratulations on helping russia destabilise democracy across the world without even realising it
I see a lot of media talking about other nations, while we still need to improve ours, maybe that is why it keeps popping up.
world: exists
US: HEY ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THATS NOT ME?!?
The fix your house before you start criticing others houses, statement.
no, it’s nothing like that at all, because this is an autocracy trying to literally destabilise democracy across the world and significantly negatively effect the lives of billions at a time when the world is the least stable and closest to the brink of war that it has been for decades… it is not a house
Going to your last point:
In my point of view, if we stopped invading every country for their resources/bringing democracy, and instead helped push for building up countries, how China does soft imperialism, the world would be much more stable. Endless wars did not help make the USA look better, BRICS did not come up because everything was peachy before hand.
In the the end you seem to be more correct on your assertions and points, I am just blabbering off…
