There isn't enough long-range armament hitting ground in Russia if they still have time, resources, and will for disinformation campaigns.
If Russia really doesn't want Harris to be president, I take that as an endorsement. They must think she's going to do some good.
Now that everyone knows these exist they have to do a couple obvious fakes to draw away attention away from the insidious ones.
Harris is going to back Ukraine while Trump will serve it up on a platter. That's why.
It [Microsoft report] also explains how Russian intelligence actors are collaborating with pro-Russian cyber “hacktivists” to boost allegedly hacked-and-leaked materials, a strategy the company notes could be weaponized to undermine U.S. confidence in November’s election outcome.
That's one reason why. There are many reasons.
Also Trump wants to pull out of NATO.
Can we block Russia from the internet until after the election?
Problem is they also payed a shit ton of right wing YouTubers and Podcasters to repeat their lies. Those will continue to broadcast their shit.
Edit: I just remembered how much friendlier the internet was on every single occasion when the Russians have been singled out. So I’d say: Do it.
Putin you little scamp. One day you support her the next your trying to help Trump.
Of course Putin wants his best asset back into the White House. One can safely assume that copies of all the "Top Secret" papers im mar-a-lago have found their ways to Moscow long ago. And Trump will serve Ukraine on a silver platter to his Russian handler. With a smile.
"B-but Putin publicly endorsed Harris! So these reports must be lies, because he clearly hates Trump and wants him to lose!" -Clueless MAGA cult members everywhere
It's been an issue for every election since 2016.
Still great to have some concrete proof but I doubt this is going to matter for the people who need to hear it.
Probably since 1952.
And here republicans are gaslighting people by saying that BuT PuTiN HaS EndORsED kAMaLAaAaa!!!!
They did the same stunt with Durov before he gave up his VK and they promptly forgot about it after he caved in. He allegedly hit a cop, and for americans who want to vote blue, they adjusted it so Kamala allegedly hit a black girl. So convinient.
