Fucking Russians

>A sophisticated Russian propaganda effort helped fuel the spread of fake news during the election cycle, the Washington Post reported Thursday.

>Two groups of independent researchers found that Russia employed thousands of botnets, human internet “trolls” and networks of Web sites and social media accounts to inject false content into online political talk and amplify posts from right-wing sites.

>“They want to essentially erode faith in the U.S. government or U.S. government interests,” said Clint Watts, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute who co-authored a report about Russian propaganda. “This was their standard mode during the Cold War. The problem is that this was hard to do before social media.”

>A similar report from PropOrNot, provided to the Post, identifies more than 200 websites that routinely pushed Russian propaganda to at least 15 million Americans, and found that false stories pushed on Facebook were viewed more than 213 million times.

>implying that isn't just fake news claiming other people are fake news

>Russia low-key redpilling the US
How can one nation be so based?

US fell into liberalism scam. i'm disappointed at the US and EU's belated and haphazard response to russian non-linear warfare.

> a human internet troll
What was his name again?

>“They want to essentially erode faith in the U.S. government or U.S. government interests,”
>Implying that there was much faith there to begin with.

people fucking love nickelback they are one of the best selling bands of all time, that must be fake news

Wait a sec. If this is true then the Russkies pushed us to the left in th 60's and are now pushing us to the right in the 2010's.

Would the average amerifat buy into this?
>You voted trump because russia said so.

The Hill is fake news.

>>Wait a sec. If this is true then the Russkies pushed us to the left in th 60's and are now pushing us to the right in the 2010's.


yea, russians only care about spreading divisive propaganda to the US and EU

Well, they would sell more records than congress, according to that poll. It could be virtue signaling though.

simply coincidence, dont mind.

No shit. It's been fucking Russians this whole time using scripts and shilling for Trump because he's retarded and it makes the U.S. looks like an international laughing stock. The "PRESIDENT TRUMP GENERAL - RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT EDITION" thread right now follows the same template as threads throughout the whole election. They're just using VPN to make it seem like it's being posted from the U.S. but A FUCKING LEAF like yourself wouldn't know that.

I think you've had quite enough to drink, young man.

Yeah, there's no way in hell the election defeat would have anything to do with the public's disgust for that lying shitbag $hillary, or lowlife degenerate husband.. it's gotta be those goddamned Russians again..

As I said, I always wondered who is running the generals.

>FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS FAAAAKE NEEWWWWSS

One example. Just one fucking example.

thehill is fake news.

>he's retarded and it makes the U.S. looks like an international laughing stock

it's a whole lot more than that. during the campaign, trump has said a lot of things which were counterproductive to american foreign policy that the russians stand to immensely benefit from if trump were to make good on his words. namely the threat of not honoring NATO commitments and approval of brexit, which serves to stoke more euroskeptic flames.

the last couple of decades of unilateral US interventionism and NATO enlargement only made it clear to the russians that the US is it's most imminent and dangerous geopolitical foe. the breakup of the EU/NATO is critical for russia to preempt a second grande armee and bring back the baltic states as its buffer.

>not honoring MATO commitments

That's a funny way of saying making the other countries honor their part of the commitments or leave because paying to protect them is costing us trillions of dollars and artificially allowing them to be socialists pussyholes that import millions of Africans and Mudslimes

Tell me why my middle class parents should be paying upwards of 40% of their income in taxes for that

Go fuck yourself

>posting worst girl
makes sense given your horrible taste in ideologies

>Washington Post

lmao they salty

It's also true Russian trolls promote rapefugee stories to lower acceptance of the EU.

surprising to no one, how is it news

any big e-marketer can do that

doesnt really matter where you are from

cheapest proxies come from russia and china (mostly free) desu

hell m8, i myself made about 50k twitter accounts (mostly india & russia ips) spamming feminist propaganda to make sure people go out and vote for god emperor trump.

its quite easy to fetch existing tweets from retards, spin them and post them as your own.

Mostly because those are usually true.
Unlike the "sources", "computer scientists", and "here's what Trump meant in this out of context sentence" used by western media.
Ivans actually use verifiable facts for a big chunk of their propaganda and don't spin it - they simply report shit ie. Germany doesn't want reported. Otherwise they just deny and often they make shit up and people still believe it because all the other stuff they reported was true.
They are literally using inconvenient truth as propaganda vs literal shilling employed by liberal rags.
If this is how the information war is supposed to go then I don't have much faith in the west winning it. Instead people will turn to alternative sources such as social media, which can be even more efficient propaganda vectors. Either way the era of MSM is ending.

If U.S. politicians don't want to lose to Russian puppets maybe they should actually field appealing candidates.

It is all part of the long range KGB strategy of deception and disinformation to destroy the West.

Such strategy was devised in 1961 and denounced by KGB defector Anatoly Golitsyn in his 1984 book New Lies for Old.

On his book, Golitsyn successfully predicted: The fall of the Berlin Wall, the fake "democratization" of Russia under KGB-planted politicians, the dismemberment of the Warsaw Pact, the unification of Germany, the end of communism at least superficially, the creation of a united, neutral, socialistic Europe ("A neutral Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals", as Gorbachev would call it a decade later), and the eroding of NATO.

EVERYTHING has followed the predictions of Golitsyn in 1984, when nobody expected any of this to happen, he had the highest accuracy rate of any Kremlinologist - 93% of his predictions have come true.

The KGB tried to assassinate Golitsyn three times. It sent fake defectors to try to discredit him.

Yet Golitsyn alone exposed dozens of KGB moles in the CIA and the British government, including top level KGB plants like Kim Philby, Donald Duart Maclean, Guy Burgess, John Vassall, double agent Aleksander Kopatzky who worked in Germany, and others.

EVERYTHING that is happening today was predicted by Golitsyn, from Putin's government to the creation of the EU.

WAKE THE FUCK UP
The plan of the Russians was to lull the West into a false sense of security and destroy morale and society with subversive methods. It is working.

Left, Right, they don't care.
They will support anything that De-stabilizes the West. The goal of the underground Soviet politburo is power.

Do you think it's a coincidence Merkel is East German? Do you think it's a coincidence Kohler was given a managerial position at Gazprom when he left office?

>implying I didn't do it for free

>fake news
>code word for not (((real))) news from certified zionist sources

kek

On one hand ya'all keep posting how shitty Russian things are . . their economy , military and intelligence capability. The west has like 500+ US bases around the globe while Rus has what 3 ?

But some how Russia has the extra money to do all that bull shit you just said ?!

Really makes you think . .

>Russian propaganda effort helped fuel the spread of fake news during the election cycle
Last time I checked CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NYT, etc, etc, etc. weren't owned by Russia.

>They want to essentially erode faith in the U.S. government or U.S. government interests
Pretty sure they're doing that all on their own just fine.

>This was their standard mode during the Cold War. The problem is that this was hard to do before social media.
This is fucking hilarious since the only ones PROVEN to be doing this shit weren't the Russians. From google skewing autocomplete results, to twitter outright banning people on their political basis, and on top of all that you also had the ever so marvellous hand-selected trending topics based on your own propaganda. Who really are the bad guys here? Fucking hell.
