Do the world a favor

Didn't you and I already discuss this topic, brother?

Did we?

I believe so but it could have been someone else, to be honest. It's a fairly common argument.

The short version: Countries from all over the world spy and attempt to influence the US... and the US does similarly. While their attempts varies in levels of efficacy, in general, they are not nearly as successful as news media and politicians pretend they are.

That said, it's almost certainly the case that Russia and China as well as countries within the EU and UK are screwing with US citizens online to sway the conversation. We can combat this with factual information on the topic at hand instead of reading headlines and parroting what the news media tells us to think. Just gotta do a little digging is all.

sure, but antivax 5g microchip vax stuff originated in russia.

Check again. That nonsense was fairly prevalent in the UK and Australia before our nutsos went after 5G... actually, the toilet paper Armageddon of 2020 also originated in Aussieland as well, now that I think of it.

That said, it could have been Putin pulling the strings in those countries as well... but I think you're giving him WAY too much credit. It's like the two common misconceptions about our own CIA: 1. they spy on everyone everywhere at all times... and 2. that they have the recourses to perform the first.

putin can't make russia great again without destabilizing other nations. just like conservative bush couldn't make america great again without 2 failed oil wars so we wouldn't have to drive electric. search "putin vaccine misinformation".

human nature is to hoard, russia didn't cause the toilet paper rush.
