US intelligence report alleging Russia election interference shared with 100 countries

When are the countries doing something about this meddling of Russia

Imagine they would put the same effort into making their own country a decent place to live

Well this thread sure is depressing. It's full of either tankies or people from Russian troll farms. Only one person actually trying to discuss the article, everyone else seems to be "whatabout America"-ing?

Does anyone have a link to the report? I want to be informed about this matter. A link to the report should be in the article, but it isn't. Did they refuse to share the report with the United Kingdom?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The assessment was sent in a State Department cable dated Wednesday to more than 100 U.S. embassies in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa for distribution to their host governments, he said.

The report represents Washington's latest move to combat what it says are Moscow's efforts "to sow instability" in democratic countries by portraying elections as "dysfunctional, and resulting governments as illegitimate."

Washington "recognizes its own vulnerability to this threat," said the report, noting that U.S. intelligence agencies found that "Russian actors spread and amplified information to undermine public confidence in the U.S. 2020 election."

U.S. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in 2020 beat his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump, who refuses to accept the results, falsely claiming that he lost due to fraud.

Concerted Russian operations between 2020 and 2022 sought to "undermine public confidence in at least 11 elections across nine democracies, including the United States," the report said, adding 17 others were targeted by "less pronounced" efforts.

Russia "utilizes both overt and covert mechanisms, including influence networks and proxies managed" by Russian spy services, the report said.

The original article contains 531 words, the summary contains 179 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

every cooker is a Russian troll or stupid stooge dumb enough to fall for them

Only good if we are doing it.

Would anyone be shocked to find out every country tries to interfere with the elections of every country? Specially of countries that affect them a lot?

Or do you guys not think the US interferes with say, Japanese elections? Or the Australians don’t interfere with New Zealand elections?

People think all countries are just nice and honest good friends? Only the “evil” ones do shit like this?

C’mon…

Yeah, only we can do that! Like we did, since the 20th century:

• Nicaragua
• Haiti
• Dominican Republic
• Russia during the Civil War
• South Korea (Which we held the election and made it so only tax payers or city elders could vote)
• Greece
• Costa Rica
• Albania
• Syria
• China Giving them drugs to make them unwilling to fight
• Egypt
• Guatemala
• Iran To which we don't know the extent as the CIA burned thousands of internal documents to prevent the public knowing about it
• Guatemala, again
• Syria, again
• Indonesia
• Iraq
• Vietnam Including the kidnapping and assassination of South Vietnam's president
• Cuba with a failed invasion with a total of 634 known assassination attempts on Casto.
• Cambodia
• The Congo
• Laos
• Dominican Republic, again
• Iraq, again To which we don't know the extent as the CIA burned thousands of internal documents to prevent the public knowing about it
• Brazil
• Indonesia, again
• Cambodia, again
• Chile
• Bolivia
• Ethiopia
• Angola
• East Timor
• Argentina
• Afghanistan
• Poland
• Chad
• Nicaragua, again
• Grenada
• Panama
• Iraq, a third time
• Haiti, again
• Iraq, a forth time
• Haiti, a third time
• Zaire
• Yugoslavia
• Afghanistan, again and ongoing for 20 years
• Iraq, for the fifth time
• Kyrgyzstan
• Palestinian
• Syria, a third time
• Libya
• Syria, a forth time

Not to mention:

That time we meddled with Ukraine's elections The general plan to stop democratic elections in Latin America

The Banana Republics Where we got so off scot free, there's a chain of stores named after it. It's like if Iraq had a chain of stores called 9/11 Appeal. The Consistent and non-stop murdering of Filipinos who wanted freedom from Spain and America

And this isn't even getting into pre-1990's with Hawaii and the mass genocide of Native Americans, or the internal fucking with elections like COINTELPRO murdering Black Panthers and MLK, and the CIA secretly using network stations and the internet to spread propaganda.

But it's good when we do it, so that makes it okay. Please don't ask use to apologize or forgive debts. We can't even keep a promise with any native american tribes, let alone foreign nations.

erode public faith in the integrity of democratic elections worldwide.

And I thought it was corrupt and criminal politicians running a farcical democracy that did it... When in doubt, blame russia I guess.

That's bold since most European countries intelligence confirmed USA interfered in all their elections during and after the Cold war.

Oh, you mean like the US has done for a century?

They spam this report like how they spam articles about it to pretend like what Russia is doing is any different from what the US does.

Remember when Russia invented election interference in 2016? Well the US was doing it before it was cool: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usa

That is but one example of many dating back throughout the decades. In fact, Russia is the way it is in large part thanks to US interference. Make sure to scream "whataboutism" like a good little parrot and smash that downvote button to show how immune you are to propaganda.
