“We have a lot of political leaders here in the U.S. who are camping out in Poland to try to tilt it,” said Randy Evans, who was ambassador to Luxembourg during Trump’s first term.
Isn't that just an open admission that they're trying to influence a foreign election

Yep and they are doing it all over Europe. Europe, specially EU, should consider them hostile for elections interference. And I'm sure this went on on lower levels as well even before this obvious interference. Yet, nobody bats an eye

Why actually go somewhere when you can just coordinate propaganda via bots on their social media?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yes, but that somehow doesn't change anything ever. They do horrible thing A, world is shocked about A, then they do horrible thing B, world is shocked about A+B, then they do horrible thing C, world is shocked about B+C (A has already been forgotten by that point). And so on. We don't really have proper checks & balances in place against malicious politicians with too much power and too many loyalists in key positions. So they can do whatever and get away with a ton. I mean I thought there should be checks and balances working to correct this in any modern democracy but then again checks & balances also fail regularly in other areas, e.g. in anti-corruption or in pro data protection. Everything's conveniently broken in some way and can be exploited. The key people from the Trump administration and/or Heritage Foundation should already be behind bars for lifetime.

Because some countries have populations that do more than sit at home eating and blindly trusting whatever their screen tells them is the truth.

When the US does it, it's fine.

True. Or in most of Europe, where it's harder to convince people the sky is falling when they can just walk out of their front door and ask anyone on the street if that's true.

We just let them do it.
