Yep, and these things are legal. Not foreign interference attempting to alter the outcome to their own gain. Not sure if you’re aware of this or not, but Russia is not a foreign citizen and thus cannot play the game of SuperPACs, let alone directly fund campaigns as domestic individuals can.
Whether that’s right or wrong is another topic but clearly beside the point. As I said, the two issues are not mutally-exclusive. But that you would basically say it’s A-Okay that Russia is trying to undermine our elections because of internal domestic spending is… Peculiar at best. What, should we wait for when Russia spends billions upon billions? Perhaps we should nip this in the bud now.
The answer is: “No, there is not a greater concern to Federal agencies than Russia in foreign election interference.”
Please, Russia is a gas station with guns. They’re not primarily responsible for America being a shithole.
Again, a straw-man fallacy; please cite where I said this. Yes of course Russia isn’t responsible for everything; and sure, domestic Republicans and corporations are corrupt enough in their own right. But Russia has certainly amplified this internal division and should absolutely be a talking-point going into the elections as to why a foreign corrupt dictator wants Republicans to win so badly.
That’s just wrong. America has a higher prisoner-per-capita ratio and kills far more people. Russia isn’t good, but America is literally the greater evil. Gaza vs Ukraine puts this into stark relief. One is an illegal war. That’s bad! One is a genocidal extermination campaign. That’s clearly worse! Yet, America has no problem with funding the genocide as long as it takes.
Citation needed. Unless you have some seriously selective date ranges for considering murder counts and think the Russian Gulags are actually going to publicly document their torture – I’m just going to laugh this one out of the park. As with most things, it’s far more complicated than these absolutist terms one can conveniently armchair from their Lemmy account. It’s no wonder one isn’t in a political position or high level advisor or an expert in… Well, really much of anything I surmise. But feel free to go live in the bastion of freedom and human rights that is Russia, apparently, LOL.
Thanks for the laugh; looks like we found who was the clown all along!
