    Wonder if there’s an old school CIA guy that’s like “we used to assassinate world leaders and start genocides” while posting “lol xinnie the pooh”

      I mean, you say this, but liberals and even some leftcomms think Russian and Chinese propaganda are totalizing phenomena and that the USA has more liberty and is mostly reacting to the behaviors of the evil foreign geniuses who are also incompetent. So having Reuters publish this story is pretty important. More so given how much Reuters has participated in previous propaganda campaigns.

        Yeah. It’s not shocking that it’s happening.

        I don’t think I assigned any morality to it in my statement.

          I’m not assigning any morality to anything either. I’m just pointing out that libs in US are still trotting out Russiagate conspiracy theory as proof of unprecedented levels of foreign interference in politics.

            Sure, I can tell you aren’t pushing a bias or assigning morality especially given your loaded language; to that end why am I being questioned on my stance about something else you clearly aren’t assigning morality to either?

                I understood it but I’m surprised a stable genius such as yourself didn’t.

        Post the article about how centrists fall for disinformation all of the time because they think they’re immune to it.
