American disinformation campaign in Russia...

[Jarod]

The idea had not struck me...

I have heard a lot about and I think seen Russian propaganda used on the internet to affect American culture and politics in a negative way. Propaganda has been going on a long time and the idea that it would be done on the internet should not be a suprise to anyone...

However, I am surprised at my self for not having even thought of the idea that for sure we are doing the same to Russia.

I am supportive of Ukraine and its independence. But when I was hearing a story today about internet stories in Russia informing people how to avoid the draft, and about the horrors in Ukraine for Russian soldiers, it struck me that some of this is real, but a significant part is very likely disinformation,


They are doing it to us, wouldn't it be negligent and awful of us to not be doing it? Isn't it just as wrong for us to do it to them as it is for them to do it to us?

It's "disinformation" based on what evidence? Is this like someone thinking they are a woman so they are in fact a woman? You might be right but it's based on what? Your suspicion? What is your claim based on?

Of course its not wrong. Its not wrong for Russia to do it to us either. Countries work to install governments that will be friendlier to them. The fallacy in your thinking is somehow you think only Russia does it. Someone like the Pope out and out says Trump is not christian in the middle of an election and you dont think thats manipulation? Hell if I remember correctly Obama even did a rally in Germany or somehting just to show how much the Europeans would love him.

What gets me is that the leftist retards actually seem to believe they don't engage in any of the behaviors they attribute to others. It convinces me they are stupid AND delusional.
