    How amazing would it be if Big Z’s long-term strategy was actually to have Trump lose the midterms so he loses enough power that he can’t continue to influence the Ukranian defence so much.

    Kill those data centres and bot farms!!

    I know that he won’t win a peace prize, But this man needs some recognition for unmasking the Putin regimes’ Paper Tiger status. He’s out there making life just a little better for the rest of civilized society, and has really raised Ukraines’ international profile. There’s no way that Ukraine is not coming out of this as a real power player on the European stage, NATO admittance or not.

    But yeah, drop in the bucket. At least some of these shitty AI bots are gone for awhile. A reprieve is a reprieve.

    If even the US’ Cold War anti-communist propaganda station ‘Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’ states the drop is likely due to Yandex’s crawlers, what does that tell you about the credibility of Zelenskyy (having an obvious conflict of interest) and all Western outlets running with it, by extension? The Russian government might not even need bot farms at this stage, because the West keeps undermining their own credibility: with single-sided, unsubstantiated malinformation of half-truths at best. It’s so obvious to me they’re trying to pass off any critical thinker as being a Russian troll, and trying to escalate the proxy-war by attributing “hybrid-war” sabotages to the “aggressor” (that is conveniently in a weakened state because of it). Yes, Russia undeniably invaded Ukraine, but wouldn’t the US do the same to Mexico if it turned communist, following all of South-America?
