My favorite link for whenever the Russian interfearance bullshit comes up.

We literally bragged on the cover of time magazine that we intentionally worked to get yeltsin elected (obviously, a country trying to get a leader elected that's more beneficial to them is jot exactly a wild idea)

And our involvement wasn't just making racist Facebook posts about minorities in Russia to get racists to vote for him.

I learn something new every day on this website.

I feel like this should be a site emoji.

Dems complaining about Russia posting racist Facebook memes and acting like it's justification to bomb Moscow is shockingly hypocritical, even for liberals.

It's also fun to read about the anticommunist media campaign in favor of Yeltsin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Russian_presidential_election#Pro-Yeltsin_media_bias

Today, this would be considered propaganda by the authoritarian Putler, but in 1996 this was wholesome 100 democracy.
