The group leveraged dozens of social media accounts and “routinely used” AI-generated imagery and video to stoke unrest among Iran’s population, according to Citizen Lab.

It’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between Israel and Russia. They’re using the same tactics, for the same reasons. Destabilisation, invasion, and occupation.
Russia is your first go to comparison and not, let’s say, the US which has been creating chaos around the world for at least 50 years straight and spinning the shit out of reality to make it somehow sound like they’re fighting the “good fight”, something only believable by those completely unaware of what’s happening in the world? Westerners, I tell you. 😑
America is terrible, but the brand of terribleness is different from that of Russia and Israel. The latter two are both fascist settler colonialist states, so there's plenty of similarity, while the US is a neoliberal neocolonial empire—an imperialist entity, yes, but of a completely different kind.
Since when has the US actively sought to permanently occupy land it was interested in? It hasn’t engaged in that type of colonial aggression since its own conquest of North America. In that, it has many similarities with Israel…but that was hundreds of years ago.
Right now, Russia and Israel are both playing the exact same game, using the exact same methods, with the exact same goals.
They're fundamentally the same kind of regime, so the math checks out.
