How is it always Russia with you people? You honestly believe Tim Dillon and Joe Rogan are working for the Russians? Despite having followings of tens of millions, and having massive Spotify deals, they have to be Russian puppets to make money? Is Spotify controlled by the Russians too?

There's lots of known facts to make one suspect Russia. Maria Butina's efforts, NRA funding, Tenet Media funding, and, yes, the Mueller Report all indicate Russia made lots of efforts to run influence and psy ops.

I mean, Rogan is, at the very least, ah, weirdly gullible about Russian propaganda talking points. And then there was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Tenet_Media_investigation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Tenet_Media_investigation Like, Russia is at least interested in, and spending significant money on, such influence operations. Who knows. But honestly, would it be _that_ shocking, under the circumstances?

It does not necessarily needs to be a willing cooperation, you can also trick them into spreading a narrative by paying them money to talk about a specific view on a situation which favors one side and demonizes other one. https://apnews.com/article/russian-interference-presidential-election-influencers-trump-999435273dd39edf7468c6aa34fad5dd https://apnews.com/article/russian-interference-presidential...
