US intelligence officials say that Russia plans to replicate its election interface campaign of previous years in order to help propel former President Trump back into the White House.
The officials say Russia intends to use social media to manipulate US public opinion in favor of Trump
At this point, it’s becoming a cute underdog story. Poor Russia is still losing a war they thought would be over in three days two and a half years ago. Now, they’re breaking out the Facebook and Twitter bots to take over the election like it’s still 2016.
Keep flexing as though you’re still a “superpower,” little buddy. In a few years, we’ll be nostalgic for when you were a real adversary. Again.
Have you watched the movie Network (1976)? I feel like Russia is in the position of “the Arabs” right now (and I don’t say more in case you haven’t watched it).
To be fair, without the US ukraine would crumble. I don’t know if all of Europe’s support could hold back Russia. Russia has adapted significantly during this war and their propaganda and IT efforts are still top notch.
Even if they win, it’s still a multi-year war that everybody expected to be like a week long invasion at most. You’ve got to give the credit for that. And that’s with all their effort. I doubt they can manipulate the US again while doing that, especially now that we’re on the look out for their social media tactics again.
They certainly don’t have the resources to spare as they once did before the full scale invasion. And I’m rooting for ukraine, their extinction would be a travesty.

you and I may laugh but they still have a majority of the gop by the balls.
As much as it is very funny, it’s still a threat that should be taken seriously.
Stay vigilant, lads. Be watchful for any bots trying to throw a wrench into the works.

Fantastic movie, but I watched it so long ago I barely remember it.
