The accounts being discussed here have pushed agendas within the US, and commented on US politics regularly. Many are also named to echo political movements, like some MAGA accounts.
However, these ‘political influencers’ have been found to be based outside the US, raising questions about the motives.
One profile going by ‘MAGA NATION’ with a follower count of over 392,000, is based out of eastern Europe. Similarly, ‘Dark Maga’ a page with over 15,000 followers is based out of Thailand. ‘MAGA Scope’ which boasts over 51,000 followers is actually operated out of Nigeria, and ‘America First’, an account with over 67,000 followers is based out of Bangladesh.
“At this time thousands of MAGA-aligned influencer accounts and large political pages that claim to be based in the U.S. are now being investigated and exposed with many of them traced to India, Nigeria, and other countries,” a news aggregator page on X noted.

I think we give Russia too much credit. I didn’t even see it mentioned in the article but I did see “Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and the nondescript Eastern Europe.” A lot of countries are in Eastern Europe.
X is blocked in Russia. That is why there are none listed. They have to use VPNs. Please, even suggesting Russia isn’t the main culprit is very Russian. Sheesh.
where did you see that in the article?
When did I say it was. It is well known that X is not accessible in Russia and has not been for years. These aren’t rogue citizens of Russia ffs. This is State sponsored and they, like many of us, use VPNs. Your slip is showing.
that’s a lot of accussations without any sources provided.
Those are endpoints. The funding comes from Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other miscreants.
says who?
