It sucks for them that the US presi is a Putin asset, now.
You just gotta admire blueAnon dedication to debunked conspiracy theories.
Russiagate was one of the most brilliant propaganda moves in US history because it managed to marry Trump and Russia in minds of liberals into a single entity.
Then there’s also:
Russia has been widely accused of interfering in the socioeconomic and political stability of other countries through a variety of methods, including cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, election meddling, and leveraging economic tools.
Key Examples of Russian Interference
-
Election Interference:
- Russia has been implicated in meddling in elections globally, including the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The Kremlin used covert influence campaigns, cyberattacks, and proxy organizations to manipulate public opinion and sow discord.
- In Europe, Russia has interfered in elections in countries like Ukraine, Germany, and France by supporting fringe political parties, spreading disinformation, and conducting cyberattacks.
-
Economic Leverage:
- Russia uses state-controlled firms like Gazprom and Sberbank to gain economic influence in regions such as the Balkans. These investments are often designed to deepen dependency on Russia while undermining Western institutions like NATO and the EU.
- The invasion of Ukraine has caused global economic disruptions, including food shortages and inflation. While sanctions have strained Russia’s economy, Moscow continues to exploit economic tools to exert influence.
-
Destabilization Campaigns:
- Beyond elections, Russia has engaged in broader destabilization efforts, such as its annexation of Crimea and support for separatist movements in Ukraine. These actions aim to weaken neighboring states’ sovereignty while expanding Russian influence.
- In Moldova and other post-Soviet states, Russia has sought to subvert democratic processes and maintain control through both overt military aggression and covert operations.
-
Soft Power Tactics:
- Moscow cultivates influence through cultural and religious institutions, media outlets, and social organizations. These efforts blur the lines between state-sponsored activities and independent initiatives, providing plausible deniability for the Kremlin.
Russia’s interference strategies are part of a broader effort to assert itself as a global power while challenging Western dominance. These actions have drawn widespread condemnation but continue to evolve as Moscow adapts its tactics to avoid detection and attribution.

Oh man wait till you find out the kinds of interference the US does around the world. Russia just follows the rules based order here as established by the hegemon.
I’ll repaste what I just replied to you…
While it’s true that both Russia and the United States have engaged in foreign interference, Russia’s approach has been notably different and more pervasive in recent years.
Russia’s election interference efforts have indeed been systematic and far-reaching, often focusing on fanning extremism and undermining democratic institutions rather than direct regime change. Key aspects of Russia’s approach include:
-
Global reach: Russian interference has been documented in elections across Europe, the United States, and beyond.
-
Digital tactics: Russia has extensively used cyberattacks, hack-and-leak operations, and online disinformation campaigns to influence elections.
-
Promoting division: Russian efforts often aim to exacerbate existing societal divisions and promote extremist views, including far-right ideologies.
-
Long-term strategy: Russia’s interference is part of a broader geopolitical strategy to weaken adversaries by creating doubt, uncertainty, and distrust in democratic institutions.
-
Evolving sophistication: Russian tactics have become more advanced over time, adapting to new technologies and countermeasures.
While the United States has historically engaged in foreign interventions, often involving regime change through military means, Russia’s recent approach has been more focused on covert influence operations that don’t necessarily involve direct military action. This strategy allows Russia to impact a larger number of countries simultaneously with less risk of direct confrontation.
The scale and persistence of Russian election interference in the last decade have made it a significant global concern, prompting increased awareness and countermeasures from many democratic nations. This widespread and ongoing campaign of influence distinguishes Russia’s recent activities from those of other nations, including the United States, in terms of its scope and potential long-term impact on global democracy.

Everything you’ve written applies to the US. In fact, the US has entire organizations like USAID and NED specifically dedicated to the types or interference you’re complaining about. Nothing Russia has ever done even comes close to that.

Or you could also read these facts:
Robert Mueller did not disagree with the conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In fact, his investigation confirmed that Russia engaged in “sweeping and systematic” efforts to influence the election through social media manipulation, cyberattacks, and other methods. However, Mueller’s findings on whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russia or whether President Trump obstructed justice were more nuanced.
Key Points from the Mueller Investigation:
-
Russian Interference: Mueller unequivocally stated that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump’s campaign. This interference included hacking Democratic emails and spreading disinformation.
-
No Criminal Conspiracy: While Mueller found numerous contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russian individuals, he did not establish sufficient evidence to prove a criminal conspiracy between the campaign and Russia beyond a reasonable doubt.
-
Obstruction of Justice: On obstruction, Mueller did not reach a definitive conclusion. His report outlined evidence on both sides but noted that Department of Justice policy prevented him from indicting a sitting president. He explicitly stated that the report “does not exonerate” Trump.
-
Congressional Testimony: During his 2019 testimony, Mueller rejected claims of “total exoneration” by Trump and emphasized the seriousness of Russian interference, warning it remained an ongoing threat to U.S. democracy.
While Mueller’s investigation found no criminal conspiracy, it highlighted significant ethical concerns and vulnerabilities in U.S. democratic processes exposed by Russian interference.

So, you’re saying Russia does same things the US and other great powers do? The problem with your “argument” here is that nobody actually showed that anything Russia has done actually swayed the election in the US.

So your complaint is that the US can no longer do interference around the world unilaterally and that Russia is countering US propaganda with their own. Interesting take there.
no
