If, like roughly a hundred million Americans, you regularly consume fascist propaganda in the guise of cable “news” (fox, newsmax, & other propaganda outlets) online disinformation publications, and the platform formerly known as Twitter, it’s likely that at least some of that fascist propaganda is originating in Moscow.

Kremlin documents reveal Russian trolls are targeting U.S. support for Ukraine and engaging in a significant campaign to undermine U.S. elections and discourage voting.

Wanted war criminal Putin- is trying to exploit America’s divisions over the war in Gaza
The effort includes artificial intelligence, fake social media accounts and a spike in state-sponsored Russian propaganda.

In its ongoing information war against the United States, Putin-KGB-FSV-
aka: Cheka, GPU, OGPU, NKGB, NKVD and MGB --
has shifted its focus in recent months to the Israel-Hamas conflict, seeking to inflame existing divisions in the West and to portray Washington as fueling the violence, the sources said.

Kremlin's propaganda war includes artificial intelligence, fake social media accounts, Russian-generated bots on social media - longstanding tactics used by Moscow, as well as a spike in from Russian state media.

@skykiss I suspect that’s why the war was started in the first place.

I have been getting pretty pissed off at people on here that I thought were a little more savvy to the dark forces trying undermine and ruin democracy - but I see them lose all ability to parse facts and understand nuance then pull out their megaphones with the stupidest, most simplistic bullshit.

@CatHerder Yep. Feeling the same. I spend more time shaking my head in awe at the stupidity. I am not the brightest person, but good grief........!!!🤦 No wonder I have a chronic headache lately.

I could type this all day to those people half way down the rabbit hole:

YOU'RE BEING PLAYED!

PS: Where TF was all this outrage when Assad was murdering 500,000 of his own people?
Not a typo, five hundred thousand people.

@CatHerder @Snowshadow @skykiss We weren’t arming Assad

@CaptMorgan So it is ok if people are killed as long as your country isn't involved in supplying munitions, instead ignores the pleads for assistance.🤦 @CatHerder @skykiss

Russians are executing the world largest genocide since Hitler's crimes. Russia has been killing Syrians for a decade and Russia fully supports Hamas and Iran's middle east terror and killing.

Putin's forces have forcibly relocated 4 million , including 700,000 children, to Russia. They are held captive. Tragically, they have also killed of 400,000 people in their war of aggression and continue to perpetrate violence against Ukrainians daily. The relentless barrage includes missile strikes, cluster bombs, and deadly drones.

Additionally, Putin's army has lost 500,000 Russian orcs to their unjust invasion of , resulting in casualties and leaving deceased Russians scattered across the country. The magnitude of this genocide is unfathomable for many.

Dozens of Ukrainian cities and towns have been bombed to rubble. This genocidal happens every minute. Where is the protest? The illegal war of aggression against Ukrainians to understand the scale is 200 times more than the middle-east and is happening Every Minute in Ukraine. It seems people cannot comprehend the massive scale of the genocide.

@skykiss ngl, When this started, my first thought was, “This is to divide American dems for the election”, & I haven’t seen anything to make me think otherwise.

This is why anyone who used the "genocide joe" a couple months back tag got a block/unfollow. I know an easily-manipulated bleating sheep when I see one.

Allies are slowly starting to wake up to the military threat to the Baltics, Poland etc if russia is allowed to win it's illegal war of aggression, genocide of Ukrainians.

They're not taking the hybrid aspects of the war seriously - jamming, cyber attacks, espionage & infiltrating governments to undermine democracy. See the US republicans infiltrated by Putin.

Putin-Kremlin and his FSB bitches working to soften up our institutions & disrupt our coordination to make later military confrontation easier if needed.

If they can weaken our resolve & make a few states satellites, that's a major victory for the war criminal Putin-russian terrorist regime.

We have to take this seriously and act decisively.

“Europe is in mortal danger,” says Pres. Macron 🇫🇷.

As 🇺🇦 is left fending for itself while Western leaders fear “escalation,” we are accelerating towards a global war.

American & European soldiers will die if we do not defeat Russia now.

👉 Putin must be defeated.

Summary: Military and Geopolitical Risk: The security risk Europe faces due to less investment in defense & security compared to the US & China. Europe must prepare for self-protection, in light of Putin's genocidal warfare returning to European soil.

Europe’s economic prosperity and energy and technological sovereignty are at stake. Europe to build up its strategic autonomy and independence, especially in terms of energy, materials, rare resources, and key skills and technologies.
Crisis of Democracies: vulnerabilities created by the digitalisation of societies, which are affecting the functioning of democracies. The rise of anti-liberal impulses and the misuse of digital technology.

Risks have accelerated in recent years and that Europe needs to take a far greater step to build a new geopolitical, economic, and societal paradigm. He also characterizes Russia as a threat to Europe’s security due to its non-compliance with international law, territorial aggression, and various forms of conflict.

@skykiss

Russia has been involved with propaganda aimed at the West since before the Second World War.

Unfortunately they're very good at it, and when the Internet was created, then the World Wide Web, and especially Social Media, that's when things for them really took off.

And now the Chinese have replicated the Soviets success and jumped on board too.

Many more state actors will follow suit.

@JSharp1436 @skykiss And if we enter another Trump administration, what do you suppose will happen to our internet as well as social media but from internal sources such as unknown agencies? Along with collecting information about your web habits and where you visit?If you thought the Patriot Act was bad…
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
