The United States on Friday released a U.S. intelligence assessment sent to more than 100 countries that found Moscow is using spies, social media and Russian state-run media to erode public faith in the integrity of democratic elections worldwide.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday released a U.S. intelligence assessment sent to more than 100 countries that found Moscow is using spies, social media and Russian state-run media to erode public faith in the integrity of democratic elections worldwide.

“This is a global phenomenon,” said the assessment. “Our information indicates that senior Russian government officials, including the Kremlin, see value in this type of influence operation and perceive it to be effective.”

A senior State Department official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, said that Russia was encouraged to intensify its election influence operations by its success in amplifying disinformation about the 2020 U.S. election and the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Journalists and leaks have shown how we influence and overthrow democratic elections in other countries.

      So as predicted, nothing concrete. Thank you for this pointless exercise.

        I do not think anything I post will change your mind.

        It is better for you to look it up and see for yourself, you will learn more or just keep thinking the same.

        Thank you for this small talk.

          It is notable on how you didn’t try, even after I clarified what I was looking for. Good work, Komrade.

            I pointed out my view and you did as well.

            If we want to learn more of each side the internet can help.

            Any yt person you like or journalist you recommend?

      Chelsea Manning, Ed Snowden, Assange, Kiriouk.

      No one really remembers Chris Hedges or Greg Palast anymore, either.

        Thanks for post!

        I know Chris Hedges was involved with The Real News Network (on YT).

        Another one is Richard Wolff, he may be with Democracy At Work (on YT).

        They used to be more active with talks in the media, they do go on independent yt shows once in a while.

        Thanks for Greg Palast, I do not recall hearing of him!

          You’re welcome. He introduced me to the term “vulture capitalism.”
