Working with the Russians and elections

Meanwhile, in DC:

"The Justice Department is cracking down on suspected Russian attempts to interfere with the 2024 U.S. presidential election through online propaganda, announcing Wednesday the indictment of two Russia-based employees of RT, a Kremlin-backed propaganda outlet, on charges of money laundering and violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

The Biden administration also unveiled sanctions against ten Russian individuals and entities, and seized 32 internet domains connected to operation “Doppelganger,” a Kremlin-sponsored campaign to propagandize Americans through fraudulent websites and social-media accounts that resemble legitimate news sources.

The campaign involves three companies under the direction of high-ranking Russian government official Sergei Kiriyenko, the Justice Department announced. Kiriyenko is considered to be a close confidant of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and has been sanctioned by the Treasury Department for his senior role in the Russian government.

The internet domains were used to spread Russian propaganda to lower international support for Ukraine, boost Russian policy objectives, and influence American voters, an unnamed FBI agent said in an unsealed sworn affidavit supporting the seizure warrant.

“We allege that as part of that effort, RT and its employees, including the defendants, implemented a nearly $10 million scheme to fund and direct a Tennessee-based company to publish and disseminate content deemed favorable to the Russian government,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland. “To implement this scheme, the defendants directed the company to contract with U.S.-based social media influencers to share this content and their platforms. The subject matter and content of many of the videos published by the company were often consistent with Russia’s interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition to core Russian interests, particularly its ongoing war in Ukraine.”

russia russia russia im not worried about, nato nato nato is who worries me.

I really don't think it's fair to call them communist. Totalitarian is more the preferred style. If I have to choose amongst communist let it be the leninist and not the stalinist

They root against America at every opportunity.

But, that is (D)ifferrent.
