It isn't surrender when you work for the other side. It's victory.

winstonas.bsky.social•60 days ago

He’s in collusion. #OrangeRasputin.

artsy8.bsky.social•60 days ago

To me. This is when the U S died.

patrickularity.bsky.social•60 days ago

It’s only going to get worse until enough folks rally together.

the-whip.bsky.social•60 days ago

An amazing amount of information in that Atlantic article.

jimearlweeks.bsky.social•60 days ago

Good read

“Trump just surrendered”

Hard to argue with that

Persist and resist together

So they can continue to run ads to educate Canadians about how #PensionThiefPeePee is trying to steal:
-our healthcare
-our pension
-our right to a living wage
-our country
-our future

denethor2nd.bsky.social•60 days ago

Tbf I think he’s been in on it from the start.

brindle0416.bsky.social•60 days ago

I didn't expect anything less from that man. If it doesn't have a dollar sign on it it's not worth anything to him.

jmwarren.bsky.social•60 days ago

Both have business interests in China that controls their actions

rogue-rider.bsky.social•59 days ago

It’s intentional. We are such dupes…

We thought we were kings but we were pawns…

cailis.bsky.social•60 days ago

thanks for gift article!
damn, thing 1 and thing 2 are the stupidest ppl ever
the only thing they understand is goon behavior and the thinking that might makes right

we will suffer collectively bc of their idiocy

scorpioun.bsky.social•60 days ago

Seventy-seven million Americans surrendered in 2024 when they voted for Trump. They knew who he was and what he would do. Blame them!

txartsy.bsky.social•58 days ago

Putin’s been grooming
trump since his beauty pageant days when P realized t was a spineless, corrupt idiot.P helped t win the first time.Elon bought the second election w P’s help.Now the grooming is complete..t is P’s bitch & P is the handler..the felon in charge of our country is Putin’s whore. 🙄

fellat.bsky.social•60 days ago

Trump is and always was just loser.

myworldmyway.bsky.social•60 days ago

It will be so difficult to put our country back together again. 😞

graver0byn.bsky.social•60 days ago

Just like North Korea!

hollsworld.bsky.social•60 days ago

He didn’t surrender. He’s Russia.

arthurassendune.bsky.social•58 days ago

The great battle between democracy and autocracy is entering the final furlong. Democracy is losing and the oligarchs cheer autocracy on from their tax havens.

rip615.bsky.social•59 days ago

Elected Republicans in the Senate and the House are allowing, in fact enabling, Trump to achieve this level of destruction. It's up to the public to put more pressure on them.

boredompeejeterson.bsky.social•60 days ago

Stop blaming authoritarianism or foreign countries. Trump is an 100% domestically grown fascist, he didn't surrender, he never was on the side of democracy. January 6 happened ffs.

theirminsul.bsky.social•60 days ago

Peter Zeihan has analysed the holistic ongoing systemic deconstructions of all facets of American state structures, both foreign and domestic, that ensure the national security and global influence of America, and decoded from it that somewhere at the apex of US state a Russian agent is doing it.

jochemfloor.bsky.social•60 days ago

It's not called 'surrender' when you're complicit though.

bossya.bsky.social•60 days ago

Ha. So true.

ltlging.bsky.social•59 days ago

There's only one person (maybe two, if you count XiPoohBear) who benefits:

rsi2044.bsky.social•58 days ago

Or that he acceded since that is what he wants for himself.

goldengirl88.bsky.social•58 days ago

Just like kid…give him paper and marker…and he feels like a king…there’s something wrong with that…

alvyntc.bsky.social•60 days ago

He even not surrendered, he a actively supports it and uses it. Shame.

kspitler.bsky.social•60 days ago

jeanmoulin4ever.bsky.social•60 days ago

When is Congress going to grow a spine and put our democracy above that traitor?

4animallife.bsky.social•60 days ago

The Republican majority in Congress doesn't want democracy. This is their long game coming to fruition.

jeanmoulin4ever.bsky.social•60 days ago

Well trump is a Russian asset so what do you expect!

When will the media start exposing him?

tenseven.bsky.social•60 days ago

Destroying the fabric of Democracy, piece by piece.

oldsnowflake.bsky.social•60 days ago

Thank you for gifting this article.

theenormousroom.bsky.social•60 days ago

Wow, I knew this was a problem, but it requires work like this to reveal the massive scale and scope of the problem in a manner that I can begin to comprehend.

It’s like pulling all the straws in the wind together to make the bale of hay.

What a fantastic but chilling exposé.

karlhs.bsky.social•58 days ago

No credible defence of democracy abroad when democratic governance is dismantled at home.

Dear Ukraine

frankplasmans.bsky.social•60 days ago

They just told plumb he would get a piece of the cake. It’s a lie, he just doesn’t know it.

andreasradtke.bsky.social•60 days ago

Perhaps for the best since VOA soon will sound like Russian or Chinese media.

alexfilonov.bsky.social•60 days ago

He didn't just surrender. He is allied with them.

mky603.bsky.social•58 days ago

Well with Trump in charge Our government NO longer a voice for Democracy.

kikelt.bsky.social•58 days ago

To be honest the radio thing was obsolete.

They should've changed to TikTok.

Russian propaganda doesn't use radio. Russia is innovative and its propaganda efficient

jrwilk.bsky.social•60 days ago

Trump has always been complicit. America is in trouble.

massdisillusion.bsky.social•60 days ago

Trump knows how to surrender without Obergruppenfuhrer Pompeo?

lesliehilton0131.bsky.social•60 days ago

Trump surrendered to Russia and China YEARS ago..

bossya.bsky.social•60 days ago

I don't think the word "surrender"is appropriate anymore. I believe he made a conscious decision that this flimsy thing called "democracy" with all its checks and balances on those who wish to obtain obscene wealth, was not for him.

dominikpinkas.bsky.social•60 days ago

I'd argue he has been helping them from the start. That's not a surrender. It's treasonous collaboration.

lyonxvi.bsky.social•60 days ago

This.. all of this.

jimbo75.bsky.social•60 days ago

ONLY 🍊 Mush can be in the spotlight 🤣🤮

pete-fi.bsky.social•59 days ago

The EU is last part of free world standing.

canario13.bsky.social•59 days ago

It would be funny if it wasn’t tragic, how the white, privileged guys who are obsessed about making America strong are weakening the country. They’re the gym rats who are checking the size of their biceps everyday, but incapable of climbing a flight of stairs without wheezing. They got it all wrong.

taxi-driver.bsky.social•59 days ago

u kidding? your democracy doesnt need anyone speaking against it.

mettaworld64.bsky.social•60 days ago

Thanks Anne for the gift of your article. Fascinating research and coverage. How can pro-democracy countries take up the slack of monitoring authoritarian propaganda networks now that Trump/Maga is squashing independent media and research?

kunzinator.bsky.social•60 days ago

Hopefully a court somewhere will stop this too.

jade-it.bsky.social•60 days ago

such people do not respect the courts.

nimzuk.bsky.social•60 days ago

I just read the New Propaganda War. Great article! I wish half of my family would read/listen to it. I wish so many people would listen to it.

blmcm.bsky.social•60 days ago

I listened. Trump already started scrubbing words so it is in process in America now.

satyarta.bsky.social•60 days ago

China and Russia will be rushing in to fill the gaps. It’s a given.

ofmiceandmen23.bsky.social•60 days ago

How's that "democracy" working out for you?

mktsutherland.bsky.social•60 days ago

mjfellman.bsky.social•59 days ago

Looking forward to the day that VOA will be rebranded as Pravda

carolannete.bsky.social•60 days ago

He has actively joined the propaganda war against democracy & rule of law.

amhill7.bsky.social•60 days ago

When I was a foreign correspondent in Africa I travelled to Angola with a VOA correspondent. She was treated like a rock star. People were hungry for trustworthy news and found it on the VOA. It made them trust America. What a stupid decision, an own goal.

pgzulian.bsky.social•60 days ago

He didn't surrender, he wants to follow them and abolish American democracy with himself as supreme leader.

vhinx.bsky.social•58 days ago

It’s another notch on his belt of pro-autocracy moves. Putin and Xi are celebrating the win.

thefirstamerican.bsky.social•60 days ago

BRICS agenda

globalnomaddc.bsky.social•60 days ago

It would be nice if y’all realized that Trump lacks intellectual bandwidth and interest in all of this. He is not governing beyond voicing grievances. It is the Heritage Foundation’s policies funded and endorsed by the tech billionaire overlords and enacted by the America First Foundation.

globalnomaddc.bsky.social•60 days ago

They hold the pen on all the executive orders. Musk is the representative taking flag for creating so much chaos that the Techbros can enact their Butterfly Revolution and Vance has conveniently been installed to ensure this happens. Call it what it is. Ring the alarm bells. Time is running out

sweaters40.bsky.social•60 days ago

Truer words have never been spoken!

kyledsilva.bsky.social•59 days ago

🇨🇳 China has never in its history been as big a threat (politically, economically, or militarily) to 🇪🇺 Europe as Trump’s 🇺🇸 America is today

mariceann.bsky.social•58 days ago

Thank you for sharing this vital information. 🙏

dominedi.bsky.social•60 days ago

no, trump play together in the same field of russia and china, and want turn US into an authoritarian country

What a guy !

giovannid.bsky.social•60 days ago

Disgusting.

project899.bsky.social•60 days ago

That is a very sad day for America. VOA & USAID were two big soft power tickets.

bergerbeebs.bsky.social•60 days ago

This is a damn shame.

wbaker14.bsky.social•60 days ago

The random slash and burn policies continue without a morsel of knowledge of what these agencies do. The ignorance is stunning.

banasnap.bsky.social•58 days ago

If you work for russia and China, it’s not a defeat—it’s just a well-executed order from the russian and Chinese regimes.

brucemarino.bsky.social•60 days ago

Chinas main goal is to make business. They do not make wars neither bomb other countries. They do not have militar bases in other countries.. and they help other nations in they development.. totaly different than the “english empires” (UK and after that, USA)

outtafu-ckstogive.bsky.social•60 days ago

The HATE for this country by these vile aholes is, stunning.

outtafu-ckstogive.bsky.social•60 days ago

Its not gonna take. Its now in its waning mode, for the most part..

People have awokened. They're not getting fooled any more.

ca4ua.bsky.social•60 days ago

If only.

He has CLEARLY switched sides.

baogaosu.bsky.social•60 days ago

He never surrendered. He was on their side all the time, fighting against democracy.
