For christ's sake yes.
Russia, a known bad actor, who has been openly trying to destabilize America for years does not get the benefit of the doubt on literally anything.
Everything that Russia "has" should be outright considered purposeful disinformation until it is clearly and widely proven otherwise. They have lost all credibility to provide proof of anything. Particularly in an election year.
- artificialLimbs 6y agoI am completely ignorant of why Russia is a known bad actor (aside from, you know, the whole run-by-a-dictator thing). Could you help me out?
- iaw 6y agoGoogle the following terms: - Litvinenko - Novichok - Crimean Annexation - Russia Wikileaks (the Atlantic article is a good intro) - Sergei Magnitsky, the Magnitsky Act, Russian Meeting at Trump Tower (in that order tells the story) - Russian Disinformation Campaign (there are stories dating to shortly after the 2016 election) There's probably more but this is all the top of my mind. Litvinenko was my wake-up to the realities of global politics and the potential dangers Russia poses.
