The Kremlin has long sought to sow chaos using ‘information confrontation’. That job just got a lot easier

    Like people seriously underestimate Russian disinfo and cyber warfare.

    You’ll find Russians absolutely fucking everywhere.

    If you see russians everywhere you are probably underestimating american disinfo and cyber warfare. USA has the most powerful and technological advanced army in the world and they spend 10 times more in war than russia. For every russian agent you see expect there to be at last 1 american.

      Yes hello.

      I was waiting for one of you to turn up.

      Don’t think I be forgotten your nickname.

      Nice strawmanning, but “on every platform” =/= “everywhere.”

      Thanks for the case in point, comrade!

          Ask a question… like; would you mind confirming Putin is a warcriminal and a sad bald bastard?

            I confirm he’s a warcriminal. trump, putin, zelenskyy, macron and pretty much all rulers are corrupted pigs with blood on their hands, don’t you agree?

              See, this is exactly what you do. You pretend to admit to it, but only in a comment where you say “oh yeah, Putin is a warcriminal IF everyone else is as well”. That’s not admitting to his criminality, that’s you trying to be “smart.”

              It’s genuinely like arguing a twelve-year old school boy. Worse, honestly. I talked to some tweeners today on the bus and they made better arguments than you do when they defended vaping on the bus. FFS.

                I just confirmed that putin is a warcriminal and you are trying to prove that i didn’t…

                  So you admit he’s a warcriminal because of the crimes on humanity he’s guilty of, which Zelensky is not? You’re not taking a side.

                  I don’t think you’re a state actor, you’re clearly not a professional in anything. But like… even if I did, do you think I’m actually trying to say that Russian disinfo wouldn’t be able to lie?

                  Now you’re just doing the very same “oh I already admitted to that” thing, because you pretend like saying “all world leaders are bad” means the same thing as admitting to Putin’s crimes.

                  You avoid being directly unpatriotic, because you think you can outsmart me. It’s like watching a toddler hide behind some curtains, not realising their feet are showing and that one can actually hear them giggling.

                  Basically, you avoid anything that could actually get you thrown out of a window. You won’t actually take a stand against Putin. No, you’ll try to pretend to admit to criticising him while trying to criticise Zelensky. Zelensky hasn’t invaded a sovereign nation with his armed forces. He is defending his country though, and unlike Putin, he isn’t a low-test bald fattie hiding in a bunker.

                    I just said that putin is a warcriminal and you accuse me of not taking a stand against him because i don’t support zelensky. Do you realize how wrong and twisted this logic is?
