Right on time for the US government to lead their populace on an boogeyman hunt season by blaming anything inconvenient on an enemy state. without any evidence whatsoever… I might add.

unrest? Russian misinformation
online? Chinese bots
stop funding genocide? hamas opeatives
any criticism? people that want Trump elected

And the funny thing is everyone there eats it up like good little tools they are. But argue, US companies are not under government fingers like China and Russia. No sir, and when it's found that they're doing the government's dirty work time and again behind closed doors.

"They're conveniently just following the law, what do you expect them to do?"
