With initial efforts aimed at swinging upcoming German elections and discrediting Ukraine, Russia's "Doppelganger" influence operations have expanded to the BlueSky social media platform.  It took the Russians a while to get around to it, but they've finally begun running their disinformation operations on social media platform BlueSky. On January 17,…

    Haven’t you heard? When Ukrainians declare themselves Nazis, cover themselves in Nazi patches, and refuse to hold elections, it’s “complicated” and we’re not allowed to talk about it.

      Yes, and because there are Nazis in their army and refuse to hold elections in a war-thorn country, they all deserve to either be killed with the pretense of being nazis, being their children kidnapped and given to Russian families, and beaten and raped until they forget that ugly Russian dialect some dare to call “the Ukrainian language”.🤡

          Ukraine “choose” the war by not wanting to be a Russian satellite state anymore.

          You seem to think countries can be forced to invade other countries. That is not how anything works.

        Do you believe this to be a reasoned response to my concern about real, self-identified Nazis empowered by the US? Do you think that countering Nazi criticism with reflexive projection of genocidal intent is helping your case?

          I can count quite a few people, who have similar concerns about Palestinians, yet here we are…

            Yes, I believe you can count zionists, and that you reflexively defend fascists there as well.

      Unfortunately every countries military has nationalistic fascists, some of which use Nazi iconography to display their “pride”. I could find the 1940 Swedish general election (not at war), 1942 Icelandic parliamentary election (occupied by USA), 1943 & 1944 Irish general elections (not at war) as the elections held between Sep 1939 & Sep 1945, the other democratic European country’s I reviewed, elections were either postponed or went uncontested.

        Is every country erecting monuments to or naming streets after famous Nazis?

              All while being invaded by a fascist far-right authoritarian dictatorship (by your logic), because yes, Russia has fascists.

              So while your point is that Ukraine is a far-right authoritarian country because it:

              • Has a controversial monument to a fascist
              • Doesn’t hold elections while being invaded
              • Has fascists in its military ranks

              The point I’m attempting to make to you, is that all countries have fascists in them. Yes even Russia:

                They were invaded in a US-backed soft coup during the Maiden Coup of 2014. Everything has followed as a result.

                  And Russia was supporting the other side, you lose some you win some. Or should the EU make up some genocide story and invade Hungary and Belarus?
