Why is so difficult to say yes or no?
Why is so difficult to say yes or no?
I completely agree that they have a goal of destabilizing the United States but I'm also saying that it is disingenuous to claim that Is what the election interference was about. The entire election campaign had one main goal in mind. Which was getting trump elected.You don't buy that one of Russia's goals is it to create divisions in American society? They've been working towards this since the cold war. They were involved in the civil rights movement, for example.
Yeah, maybe I phrased that incorrectly. He was definitely identified as an asset and vastly preferable to have in office than Hillary, but their goals were not and are not contingent on him being president. The longer he stays in office, the better for them, of course.
I'm gonna play a bit of devil advocate's here, I think there's some karma here, USA has a LONG history of messing with other countries, going as far as orchestrating Coup d'états. A small taste of their own medicine.
Because there is an active federal investigation as well as the congressional one.https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1768042509893898&id=341163402640457

It should be obvious that Russia's goals are not pro-Trump per se, but rather pro-creating disorder in America, which supporting Trump happened to further. They took ads out for anything and everything on all sides of arguments to divide people.
I know people personally who were dissuaded by these ads. Is it any wonder that trump's base is made up of almost entirely uneducated and evangelical whites?How gullible do you have to be, in other to get dissuaded by those shitty ads.

When can we charge Zukerberg and Jack with something?
They actively helped influence the election.

This is how I've been using it for eons. It's great as a communications tool, great for life status updates, terrible to use as a social group medium.i have recently decided to keep my Facebook activity to a bare minimum and only use the Messenger fo communicating with relatives.
i am so discusted by that size and scope of this fuckery
Fuck the Zuch
I love the poorly educated!
Best part is he follows right after with "We're the smartest people!" looool
With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying crosses, who in turn attacked the modern-art exhibitions. The Kremlin's idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.
You can see more or less the same phenomenon in european politics. The fringe right and left parties are either in love with Putins ruthlessness, power, whathaveyou (right) or are portraying Russia as this misunderstood, threatened beast just trying to cope with NATO's unfair (lol) expansion and ... oh... why don't we talk about the evils of NEOLIBERALISM and AMERICAN IMPERIALISM instead (left) ?Yep.
And look to figureheads on the far right AND left who seemed to act strangely when it came to Russia.
Here's lookin at you, Jill Stein.
Im not american, but someone doing something wrong doesnt mean its ok for another to do something wrong aswell.I'm gonna play a bit of devil advocate's here, I think there's some karma here, USA has a LONG history of messing with other countries, going as far as orchestrating Coup d'états. A small taste of their own medicine.

Do you have any evidence of this (it being illegal to run ads paid for by a foreign power)?
Pretty much. It was a free bonus that Trump also happens to be exponentially increasing the divide since becoming the president. They are probably loving the fact that Trump with his tweets is more divisive after becoming president than their entire ad campaign.
All ads? Surely not. There are tons of actual reasons why foreign countries would wish to advertise in a different country. Tourism, exported products, sports, music, arts etc etc.
Political ads? maybe.
Hmm, maybe the program never ended...It's scary how extensive their understanding of American culture is.
Pretty damn, but that's the way of things. Go to an average American's Facebook page and you can see how she educates herself with memes. Just this week I saw someone unironically share this post, and generate two dozens likes and amazed responses:How gullible do you have to be, in order to get dissuaded by those shitty ads.
You laugh, but it was this ability to connect with the lower class that contributed to him winning the election. Liberals often quote the first part, as it seems he's mocking the uneducated, without paying attention to how he endears himself to that crowd with the very next remark.
