    This just further justifies never signing up for X / Twitter.

    I would hope that this would lead to more consideration and thought before reposting tweets from “influencers” but that some are arguing against this by posting tweets from influencers I doubt this will change much.

    It’s Russian propaganda, such as claiming that Ukraine and the West are responsible for the terrorist attack at the theater in Moscow. It might only seem like a right-wing talking point because right-wingers are influenced (or paid) to spread carefully worded Russian propaganda designed to weaken the US and the West through internal divisions and other tactics (us hating on each other is a sign of their success).

    Thread by @MarkHertling on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App

    On a daily basis during my time in command of Army forces in Europe, every day the intelligence "black book" would provide more information on Putin's Russia attempts at malign influence against the west...and especially against the US.

    Today, the @TheJusticeDept has taken action...but because of current divisions in the US, many Americans will have questions.

    So let's talk about it...

    ...

    Many Americans will say "we've heard this before," or "just another Russia hoax," or "it's a democrat ploy."

    I don't know how to counter those who believe that, other than to say "I've been watching this for years, have seen it happen in other countries, and it won't turn out good for our democracy." 12/12

    **** this guy. He only did the job for years. Why should we trust him over the bastion of truth Donald J. Trump?

    lol no this is made up bullshit to discredit conservative voices

    propaganda by the communists

    It's also laughable to think Putin would prefer Trump.

    I'm kind of confused here. Are you really trying to say that right wing influencers like Tim Pool are actually "Anti-Trump??"

    If that's the case you really are out of your mind.

    I shouldn't have to explain this to you or anyone else but if your entire job is spending two hours a day broadcasting to the world how terrible Democrats are.... YOU ARE PRO TRUMP.

    Any solid, fact-based cases against these fear/hate mongering pundits should be fully prosecuted and examples must be made. You take foreign payments to spread propaganda in the US? You're a traitor, regardless of message.

    You really need to get yourself evaluated. Not everyone is out to get you guys.

    I got myself evaluated and the result is:

    I have more common sense than any of you leftists.

    Par for the course.
    2016 - dossier (fake but "real")
    2020 - laptop (real but "fake")
    2024 - whatever this is

    The left uses Russia for their propaganda.

    Everyone should be glad that @No Worries is not POTUS (especially @No Worries who has better things to do in life), since upon getting this news I would see how Russian soldiers the US military could kill in a 24 hour period ... you know just to keep the troops fresh ... and b**** slap Putin at the same time.

    Is it really "duped" if you never cared about the veracity or origins of the bullshit to begin with?

    This is why no one here takes you seriously.

    When you step in ****, you act like it smells good and you meant to do it.

    You don't speak for everyone.

    I remember the days VERY well when y'all called the Hunter Biden laptop a fake Russian conspiracy theory.

    We all know how that turned out.

    A DoJ indictment isn't comparable to political research or a news story.

    Here is an example of a fairly recent DoJ indictment that is directly relevant: the DoJ under Trump indicted numerous Russian agents for interfering in the 2020 election. Do you consider this "the left using Russia for their propaganda"?
