    Newly declassified US Intel

    Did this come from the same file where Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? I find it interesting how often US Intel is declassified randomly when it’s super duper helpful to struggling Western interests, and then later once it’s all blown over it turns out the Intel was wrong. Funny how that works. I’m sure this is definitely different this time

      remember when the US was doing airstrikes against ETIM terrorists in 2018 and then delisted them as a terror group in 2020 on account of the group no longer existing? and then the xinjiang propaganda really ramped up?

      Yeah but in this case it’s not even intelligence. It would be incredibly stupid for any nation, let alone Russia, to unilaterally disarm in terms of spreading national propaganda. Obviously Russia wants people to spread pro-Russian messages. It’s not some brilliant and devious Machiavellian plan, it’s statecraft 101.
