Russia asks Elon Musk to hand over names of dissidents: MPs in Moscow want a list of Russians funded by USAid, the American aid scheme shut down by Donald Trump, to be given to the security services
-
You aren't aware he gave that away last term and am inordinate amount of spies went missing, died or had to be crash extracted to avoid either of the other two possibilities?
-
Color me shocked that USAID is used to funnel money to spies.
I hope they can find Ted Cruz's victims too
-
Color me shocked that USAID is used to funnel money to spies.
It's not. It takes a Russian level of bias to decide non-profits are spies.
You... you get that, right? You don't really think they're a spy fund group? You understand both what USAID really does as well as why the Kremlin doesn't like it?
I need to know you're sentient.

If we're starting a better pool, please put my money on "already" or "first thing", if those are options.
-
You misunderstand and appear to be mashing odd conspiracy theory with legitimate fact so I assume you're a libertarian and I mean no offense when I say that.
No usaid isn't a spy funnel, you don't need wildly unproven conspiracy for that when we can prove gun/drug sales in Central/South America pay for quite a bit of our grey area work.
Ted Cruz victims? You mean Texas?
-
Any bets on whether this gets added to the Russia/US-negotiated deal for Ukraine?
-
You don't really think they're a spy fund group?
No, I think they're a vehicle to finance right wing dissidents and propaganda in countries that don't bow to the empire like they did in Chile, Brazil, Haiti, Cuba, Afghanistan, Bolivia, Venezuela and Colombia, Someone else brought up the spies and I responded with fake surprise.
-
so I assume you're a libertarian and I mean no offense when I say that.
I'm taking offense regardless
-
Most libertarians would.
No I mean Trump gave Russia a list of known spies and then they ended up dead, you're adding usaid when I didn't mention it and then conflating the two.
-
Musk/Trump will deliver on that, no questions asked.
-
“Murder is ok when capitalism”
Any you wonder why they throw “tankie” around so much
-
Musk is just a greedy cunt who fancies himself a king.
-
Is Elon secretary of state too now?
-
Is the FSB really that incompetent they don't know who in Russia is getting public grants from the US?
-
Lord Elon is whatever he wants to be. Peasants would do well to learn their place and to address his majesty with the respect he deserves.

Of course they do, but why waste a chance to appear as doing something?
-
Probably already did days ago. This is just Putin showing who’s boss by asking publicly that which was private.
-
Why though? Russian government doesn't really give a fuck who's actually funded by whom. They just use any foreign money transfers as a pretext to bully whomever they want. e.g. If you have a youtube channel and receive adsense or patreon money then you are always at risk of being designated a "foreign agent" at whim, and then you won't be able to buy shit as nobody would want to take money from you due to risk of also being designated as such.

Would be nice for them to have a list of people that will accidentally trip and fall out of a window
