Meet project "Good Old USA" the now unsealed DoJ file on the Russian influence in the US to sway opinion on the war in Ukraine.
Something Trump has bought into hook-line and sinker.
It was held under seal, because we got the literal playbook revealing their methods

It's why I'm so sure of the number of Russian agents in our politics today who knowingly are spreading these talking points.
America needs to realise that their executive branch has been compromised by the GRU.. Russian CyberCrime forums have been boasting.

it's important to draw attention to this stuff, but the framing by this account is misleading

What I really find surprising now, is that anyone is surprised by this, when it was used tens of times all over the world.
…is there an explanation as to why this didn’t work in 2020?
Did the Russians lose interest, or was it because supporting the incumbent would make it obvious there was interference?

Please take a look!
The campaign, done with the direct oversight of President Putin, spent years creating fake versions of US news sites, sharing fake stories on social media, and being social media reply-guys with isolationist, anti-Ukraine, and anti-West commentary.
Fake versions of news sites like Fox News were used to spread stories on Facebook and Twitter as "fact" while a network of commentators were encouraged to tell you that "the official media will never tell you what's happening" or to "dig deeper"
To spread their narratives, Russia created thousands of seemingly US accounts but also created and *bought* popular news accounts on Facebook and Twitter that focused on sharing "breaking news" sharing mostly legit news spreading propaganda among results.
On these fake sites they wrote extensive thought pieces, pointing to a "weak US", "domestic immigration problems" and an "unwinnable war in Ukraine"
They were tasked with spreading the idea of isolationism in the US versus global policy.
They were directed to write comments, pretending to be American, denouncing the current party in power and the President (Biden), claiming the economy is deteriorating, being nostalgic for the good old day, and blaming "globalism" and "neoliberalism"
You've probably seen their kind of comments "We should solve our own problems and let others solve theirs" "Read this to see why"
They were to pose as small town American's that felt the US has "gone too far" and
