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.
That’s bold since most European countries intelligence confirmed USA interfered in all their elections during and after the Cold war.
erode public faith in the integrity of democratic elections worldwide.
And I thought it was corrupt and criminal politicians running a farcical democracy that did it… When in doubt, blame russia I guess.
More than one thing can be true at once.
Imagine they would put the same effort into making their own country a decent place to live
America is a wonderful place to live. It is not free to live here, but we do have freedom.
I wouldn’t trade my life in the USA to move anywhere else, unless it was an offer that came with a substantial financial incentive that would pay for me to live comfortably without needing a job.
The famous American freedom!
Name any freedom that I don’t have as an American that anyone else has elsewhere.
