The U.S. intelligence community believes the Kremlin will direct its propaganda efforts to support former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election, an intelligence official indicated on a media call Monday.
Iran is likely to continue to try to denigrate Trump, the official said, and China doesn’t appear to have a preference in the presidential race but may try to interfere in congressional races.
The call, held by the Foreign Malign Influence Center, one of the few arms of the U.S. government devoted to countering foreign propaganda campaigns, elaborated on an agency alert about foreign propaganda campaigns released Monday afternoon.
The official’s remarks were the clearest sign yet that the U.S. believes Trump remains Russia’s preferred candidate even after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee.
This not real news. This very fake news. Me and friends all vote at Trump because he is good politician man. Is no bots.
Very fake, comrade. I, a fellow American, will be eating a hamburger and having many decadent mayonnaise salads while voting for trump. He is very manly and killed a bear with only his hands. Is also no bots.
Imagine being so insecure that you have to tell people you’re not a robot. I mean honestly, what real person adds “btw not a robot” to their statements?
I can’t think of a better way to out myself as a Russian troll.
I am real American man. You are Russian robot. I vote at Trump for freedom election.
Real American man not know American grammar. Not know how speak American. Stay in Russia and starve on potato.

IT SEEMS THIS FELLOW HUMAN DID NOT PROCESS YOUR ASSERTION CORRECTLY
I’d argue that the lack of sense of humor is a better indicator of a bot.
Anyone ever tell you that sarcasm doesn’t translate over text unless explicitly declared? What about that comment was supposed to be humorous? Please let me know in detail. Not sure if I accidentally’d a word or what. You clearly have all the info so explain.
You are violently incompetent in deciphering intention.
Take a break, go outside. You are very intense for no reason. Work on your problems instead of spitting toxicity on strangers online.
sarcasm doesn’t translate over text unless explicitly declared
Yes, and you didn’t explicitly declare it. You don’t have to use /s, you can also use things like superlatives.

“Absurd amounts of collected data and AI systems targeting human fears helped Trump win the election.”

Wait, why… are we talking… like Christopher Walken?
No! We’re talking…! Like…! Captain James! T! Kirk!
Dammit Jim, I’m a commenter not a doctor!!
Sounds sensible from the Russians.
Of course, putin will want his pathetic lapdog in power
If Trump wins, Putin wins. If Harris wins, Trump starts Civil War II, Putin Wins. Brave New World!
If harris wins putin’s investment is lost.
100% = “likely”. Good to know.
I’m glad we are finally saying this part out loud
Barely. “russia might use propaganda to help trump?” Says former intelligence guy? That’s the most lukewarm take on it possible.
If it was reversed, this shit would be blaring 24/7.
Duh. They want the weakest United States possible.
I’ll go ahead and file that one under “No shit!”
It’s always disengagement propaganda. They know they’re not going to get the left to vote for Trump. It’ll be more manipulated media cutting down Harris to discourage turnout.
We’re guaranteed to see a big wave of misinformation or muckraking with her VP choice.
You mean like: the DNC picked Harris, nobody voted for her, or she’s a prosecutor/cop who locked away hundreds for dime bags of weed, or somehow linked to her being a “border czar” even though she never was one, or her laugh I guess?
Thankfully everything I’ve heard so far is a “throw everything at the wall to see what sticks” approach.
You’re right about the VP pick mudslinging though.
Exactly. It’s been the play for decades. It’s never been about how good the Republican candidate is, just why you shouldn’t vote for the Democrat.
Putin is trying to fuck the West, anyone with more than 3 functioning neurons can see this plain truth. He’s trying to reverse the outcome of the Cold War, with dissolution of NATO and renovation of the Soviet Union (for starters). And idiot republican traitors are enabling it. Idiot right wingers in Europe, too. Fucking morons.
Spoiler alert: he also fire bombed those Paris train stations for the purpose of demonstrating to the russian people that the West is no better than russia.
He should be bayoneted up the ass ASAP.
Putties gay af so I think he would enjoy that too much. Queen of Russia
I get how you mean, but no. russia should be so lucky. Sadly, no, he’s straight as a ruler in the junk drawer.
This …

… do not combine well.
There are fucking morons here. Those who think that the pit their enemy is digging for them is the same old pit as 60 years ago are the biggest morons of all.
Nah, Putin, Aliyev, Saudis, all these work at eroding the very idea of some international order and justice and civilization and progress. They are obviously very successful.

One correction would be claiming that “Putin is trying to fuck the West”. It buys into the propaganda that Russia isn’t really a “western” nation.
They have an odd bit of propaganda that Russians are “Eurasians”, which is just a way they validate and distinguish their history of colonialism from the rest of Europe.
In reality they’ve always treated their Asian minority population as second class citizens, utilizing them primarily as cannon fodder to expand their colonial holdings.
USA: long history of interfering with foreign election, and other countries politics with public support for specific candidate.
Russia: do the same.
USA: How can they do that!?
So it’s bad when the U.S. does it but good when Russia does it? Is that what you’re suggesting?
Not directly!
um russia’s BEEN using propaganda for the last 10 years, to help captain “putin can do whatever the hell he wants” diaperpants
Cadet, not captain. He’s a draft doger.
