Remember, these are just the ones known publicly. There’s most likely been a lot that aren’t known publicly done by countries other than America
Russian disinformation campaigns are basically everywhere in Western democracies at this point, they’re just hard to measure and to formally pin on the Kremlin directly.
And you think American campaigns are not? Any big power is doing it.
It’s a bit trickier to have a stable and efficient disinformation apparatus in place when you change governments every 4 years. Whatever is directly supported by the government would have to be supported by both the Trump and the Biden cabinets, or start from scratch every fourth year. The Kremlin doesn’t have that problem.
Of course, the US military and certain other institutions tend to run their own side show. We all know the US was tapping phone lines in Berlin for decades, and there’s little reason to believe they have fundamentally changed.
As a European, I’m just somewhat more worried about Russia at the moment, considering their support for the far right, successful effort to get Trump elected, the war in Ukraine, and all that. But by all means, I’m not naive to the US either, and I’m not sure why you would assume that I am.
That’s definitely true, but America is different for their internal affairs than for their external affairs (as is any country). America’s habit of meddling with other countries is a bipartisan effort.
Of course as an European I’m also more worried about Russia and China as ideologically they are more distant to us.
Always projection when the US shouts about others doing the same.
While responsible for more than any other country, they are not listed as responsible for a majority on that page. 57 out of 125.
I think it’s unfair to the hard working people of the Kremlin to exclude any election featuring Geert Wilders, Nigel Farage, or Marine Le Pen from this list.
Feel free to add it to the list. It’s Wikipedia.
It’s funny how Israel is routinely interfering in US elections, considering that they’re just a well trained US overseas territory according to folks over at the .ml instances.
What is this even supposed to mean lmao
Like, what even is the jab here? You people need to try harder than that, I know it’s difficult when logic is not on your side but I believe in you, honey!
The most ethical instance in the world.
Also also USA is the country who’s elections are most intervened in - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_electoral_interventions#United_States
No interventions in any of China’s elections for some reason.
Sorry, op. I’m locking this post because the discussions are getting out of hand.
