In an ongoing campaign that seeks to influence congressional and other political debates to stoke anti-Ukraine sentiment, Kremlin-linked political strategists and trolls have written thousands of fabricated news articles, social media posts and comments that promote American isolationism, stir fear over the United States’ border security and attempt to amplify U.S. economic and racial tensions, according to a trove of internal Kremlin documents obtained by a European intelligence service and reviewed by The Washington Post.
One of the political strategists, for instance, instructed a troll farm employee working for his firm to write a comment of “no more than 200 characters in the name of a resident of a suburb of a major city.” The strategist suggested that this fictitious American “doesn’t support the military aid that the U.S. is giving Ukraine and considers that the money should be spent defending America’s borders and not Ukraine’s. He sees that Biden’s policies are leading the U.S. toward collapse.”
The documents — numbering more than 100 and dating between May 2022 and August 2023 — were provided to The Post to expose Kremlin propaganda operations aimed at undermining support for Ukraine in the United States, as well as their scale and methods. The files are part of a series of leaks that have allowed a rare glimpse into Moscow’s parallel efforts to weaken support for Ukraine in France and Germany, as well as destabilize Ukraine itself.
I thought it was kinda wise to tie Ukraine funds with Israeli funds. Because, funding Israel was in the interest of Republicans.
It didn’t work, though. House Republicans couldn’t agree on it. Now, Bibi went way worse with genocide than the West feared, and so even Dem voters have shown strong disapproval on funding Israel (understandably so).
It’s now chaotic. I, for one, have lost track on how the Ukraine funding proposal in Congress is going now, despite me having been a donor to Ukraine for multiple times. One might even say Biden’s now doing service to Putin at this point.

I don’t disagree, but you can cite anything other than a meme.
What substantial difference is there between Democrats and Republicans on Israel?
There isn’t one.
No matter who we elect, Israel gets its charity from the American taxpayer, even though we won’t fund health care or any real aid to our own people.
It’s so weird watching good things happen for the wrong reasons in the Federal Government.
