The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

      I support giving Ukraine longer range missles and a few extras and just maybe dropping a map with the Russian cyber warfare centers circled. That solves our problem and their problem.

        I know it’s not feasible, but diverting all of our military aid from Israel to Ukraine would be amazing.

          Fuck yeah. I’m in support of that. I’d like to stop both hostile land grabs, Ukraine, and the West Bank. Cutting off US support beyond weapons for Israel too until they back off the West Bank and negotiate legitimately for the release of hostages.

          Two birds, one stone. They need missiles, and we need less Russian Cyber Threats. I see this as an absolute win. Plus a few extra missiles in a barrage attack would overload their defenses and make it more likely various attacks are successful.

      Biden won’t make Obama’s mistake and ask McConnell’s permission. Or, maybe he did and the turtle said “Go ahead”

    That Russia could pull this off in the first place is more a reflection of us than them. Let’s fix those problems.

    wtf is this limpdick “sanctions” stuff?

    How about just deny Ukrainian airspace to any Russian airborne asset? And disable or destroy any platform firing into Ukrainian airspace?

    Honestly I feel like Biden just can’t wrap his head around the nature of what Putin is.

    What’s the point really? Nothing will be done about it. The all-too-familiar sound of saber rattling is beginning to fall on deaf ears.

    The US should do everything within its power to curtail enemy states’ efforts at election interference…except complaining. The US has no right to complain.

    Nothing about the $100m spent in 2024 by AIPAC to influence US elections? AIPAC is a larger threat to the US than anything any other country could do
