Or, perhaps, this is part of the same string of efforts supported by countries like Russia to discredit traditional political forces in Europe and the US in order to seed internal conflict that only benefits actors who do not benefit from strong liberal democracies.

> Or, perhaps, this is part of the same string of efforts supported by countries like Russia Slightly related, but this morning I was reading a news story on a local website (I live in Eastern Europe, in a country that is a EU and NATO member) about the whole US budget debacle in the House Representatives, and the first (and until now only) comment was mentioning Ocasio Cortez (D) in a derogatory manner, even though she had not been named in said article at all and people around this part of the world don't have the slightest clue of who she is. Sure enough, I soon found a recent article about Ocasio Cortez on the (in)famous sputniknews.com website where she was criticized for I don't know exactly what (I'm not going to link it here, don't want to give them the traffic) and then it all made sense, it looks like the Russian shill accounts have a new target now. In other words the hybrid and propaganda war is indeed real.
