          Russia doesnt send covert troops to South/Central America to perform coups

          Or send troops halfway around the world to fight for “freedom”

            No they just murder dissenters and invade independent countries unprovoked.

            Don’t act like Russia is somehow better than the US’s fuckery.

              They legit are, though, when it comes to global interference.

              I can be mad at Russia and USA both, as well as China and every 5eyes country and so many more pseudo-fascist states

                Lol what? The country that consistently tries to influence elections through manipulating social media and creating fake news for idiot Americans to fall for?

                America is not innocent and has done JUST as bad of things as Russia, but to say Russia is somehow “not guilty of global interference” is some grade-A bullshit.

                  I never said they are not guilty. Clearly reading context is hard for you. Maybe go back and re-read the thread fam

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US has seen evidence of Chinese attempts to “influence and arguably interfere” with the upcoming US elections, despite an earlier commitment from leader Xi Jinping not to do so.

    Blinken said he repeated a message President Joe Biden gave to Xi during their summit in San Francisco last November not to interfere in the 2024 US presidential elections.

    “We have seen, generally speaking, evidence of attempts to influence and arguably interfere, and we want to make sure that that’s cut off as quickly as possible,” Blinken said when asked whether China was violating Xi’s commitment to Biden so far.

    “We are (now) focused on areas where we’re working to cooperate, but also we’re being very forthright about our differences and that’s important if we’re going to avoid the competition we’re in turning into conflict,” Blinken told CNN.

    When asked about resolving the conflict in Gaza, Blinken said it was on Hamas to decide if they are going to allow a ceasefire to go forward or not, after the militant group refused to agree to multiple possible deals.

    Blinken cited the sustained US efforts to work towards normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia as part of a potentially reach a historic agreement to bring the Israel-Hamas war to an end.


    The original article contains 1,323 words, the summary contains 216 words. Saved 84%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    I’m not saying this claim is true or that it isn’t true. I will say, however, that Blinken has no credibility. He flushed all that away when he became an active, enthusiastic and vital part of the genocide machine. Don’t talk to me about what he says. Again, his words hold no value and I am aware of how dangerous it is that we cannot take such high ranking officials seriously anymore. At this point, he’s a war criminal and deserves to be tried for that.

    Too bad Blinken flushed all hist integrity down the toilet long ago…

    He’s the Secretary of State and has been actively working against a ceasefire in Palestine while spending his entire time in that position saying nothing will ever cause him to support Israel any less.

    On multiple occasions he’s repeated IDF propaganda just off their word, and when it is proven false he never mentions it because he’s moved on to the next.

    He might be right about this, but he’s lied too much for me to believe anything he says.

    Same with anyone abetting a genocide.

      I’m well aware wh9 Blinken is. He’s the guy that negotiated the 5 state treaty with Iran which was working until Trump tore it up. He is working for peace as well as other things in Gaza. Unfortunately, he hasn’t achieved a ceasefire yet. He is fourth in succession. I admire him, because he does what he’s supposed to do, bring countries together,
