The Kremlin has long sought to sow chaos using ‘information confrontation’. That job just got a lot easier
Trump working with the Russians is not news.
Every country does need to get their shit together yesterday though.
Trump is giving Russian cyber ops a free pass – and putting western democracy on the line.

You mean Russian Oligarch and President of The United States Donald Trump works with Putin? I never./s
Arkouda@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
It’s funny because you said “works with” and not “owned like a dog by”. haha

Sorry for breaking this to you, but USA is no longer part of the western democracy.
angrystego@lemmy.world 1 day ago
The western democracy he put’s on the line is Europe and Canada, not the US. The US is gone.

we’ll see in 4 years. Their next election, if they have one, will be the test.
All of donald’s executive orders can be undone in a day. Wonder why he doesn’t try to make real change using Republican majorities 🤷
probably because he doesn’t care about the U.S., he is there to make money and he got his “get out of jail” card
bluegreenwookie@bookwormstory.social 18 hours ago
For now the majority is razor thin so while he can make changes it’s still difficult to do. If i recall if even 2 Republicans don’t support him and all Democrats oppose then he can’t get things passed
Still possible but not easy.
But absolutely he is selling to the highest bidder

Man, we’re not even 3 months in (6%) and everyone is preparing for world war 3. Americans needs to step up now.
Raiderkev@lemmy.world 2 days ago
No we won’t. This shit is done. Elon and Putin stole this shit. And until there are audits, I will continue screaming into the void.

There are a bunch of votes that were down ballot dem, but for president votes went to Trump. The thought is that they were changed with an algorithm
The Doge guy made ballot reading software in 2020 that had a write function. Like trump said, “Elon is really good with those vote counting computers,” and Elon’s kid said “they’ll never know”

Elon and Trump were facing jail if they didn’t pull this off. Now we have a government full of lackeys with their heads in the sand who won’t even bother looking at it. Trump had talked to Putin 7 times before the election. He and Elon likely set up a quid pro quo deal where Putin helped them steal the election to get the US out of Ukraine

I’ve been talking about it for quote a long time.
Lemmy for one is infested with Russian pretending to be American.

Dasus@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yep, definitely agree with those.
US community on Midwest.social is also Russian modded. I got to admit, it’s not entirely stupid of Russia to try and go to as many non-official official servers they can. Like Ireland on Discord, US News/Politics on Lemmy and through modding those communities, control the way the rhetoric leans.
It’s just annoying how many people won’t recognise that and instead but into all of it

That’s a large part of why I avoid Lemmy.ml. That’s not all of them though.
Dasus@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s not all of them, but it’s enough to influence idiots.
Like people seriously underestimate Russian disinfo and cyber warfare.
You’ll find Russians absolutely fucking everywhere.
People exactly like Davel.
I had a similar moron on Ireland discord claim he’s native born Irish, I taunted him to voice channel and when he spoke it was a very heavy Russian accent, and bro didn’t even know what a limerick is.
It’s beyond easy to catch poorly educated Ruskis playing westerners if you keep any wits about you.

Everyone you don’t like is a russian troll, to be honest i’ve yet to meet someone on lemmy that is actually from russia.

The people who are too scared of saying “Putin is breaking international law with the illegal invasion of Ukraine and is a war criminal and should be tried for his crimes”, or even “Putin is a criminal” or “Putin is wrong” or “Russia was wrong to invade Ukraine”, the people who never utter a single detail about themselves (except when claiming to be “born&bred American”) but constantly comment on American politics, and each of their comments aligns with Russian propaganda?
Yeah, it’s not “everyone”, sweetums. <3
If you guys drank less and read more as a people you wouldn’t be ridiculed so bad. Now it’s like genuinely ridiculous how unaware you are of how fucking see-through you are.
It’s ludicrous. I would laugh if it the Americans also weren’t so stupid that you actually managed to put an agent at their head of state. Because that is actually worrying.
Russia itself is weak and backwards as fuck but if they manage to mangle the US, Russia+China will give Europe a running for our money.
makyo@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Why that one though? Just because it’s more ‘official’ as the devs instance?
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s simple, when Trump sees a bus he throws something under it.
xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Trump puts Russia ahead of other countries. Not a shock nowadays.
humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Pete Hegseth, who said the US will halt all offensive cyber operations – and planning for such operations – against Russia.
This does not confirm headline. Basic respect while negotiating peace shouldn’t be propagandized this way.
index@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
To me it looks like the government say they are halting operations but actually aren’t

OK so let’s use ruzzian GPS so they can map our country correctly before invading us.

He’s not putting “democracy on the line” he’s actively trying to destroy it.
stardust@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
He’s successfully destroyed it in his country.
