Should "X" be able to undermine such campaigns and bring them to light earlier than this?

X seems too busy running off advertisers to bother with actual content moderation or control.

oops, sorry... did they find the Russian soldiers who blew up their pipeline?

Germany has uncovered a significant pro-Russia disinformation campaign using thousands of fake accounts on X to try to stir anger at Berlin’s support for Ukraine, a media report has said.

The revelations, first reported in Der Spiegel, come amid growing concern about the impact increasingly sophisticated disinformation campaigns could have on elections.

Experts commissioned by the German foreign ministry used specialised software to monitor posts on the online platform X, formerly known as Twitter, between 20 December and 20 January, Der Spiegel wrote.

They reportedly stumbled across more than 50,000 fake user accounts that together pumped out more than a million German-language tweets.

A common theme was the accusation that Olaf Scholz’s government was neglecting Germans in favour of helping Ukraine in its war against Russia, according to Spiegel, which said it had seen excerpts of the analysis.

The accounts also often linked to fake news stories on websites designed to resemble those of genuine media outlets, Spiegel said, leading analysts to connect it to the Russia-linked “doppelganger” campaign already known to authorities.

Nice try, folkZ.

Speaking of NATO

Only Hungary left - which said it didn't want to be last, but that's exactly where they are now. Orban may squirm a bit still, but Sweden will be in.

He has no clue... but he saw it in an internet video.

You have no idea how NATO works.

[Berzerker]

Are they deciding which wars the US wages on behalf of Nato? Not every US war is a Nato operation or needs to be. If the USA vetoes a Nato war who will overrule the USA?

[Ming]

Geee... How about ALL the countries that are in the ALLIANCE.

[Berzerker]

Where was NATO when the US (prez Bush) launched its neocon crusade in Iraq 2003 Berz?

Nato is ostensibly a defensive alliance, the main players in Nato nonetheless helped in that war. If you dont think the USA runs Nato, who does?

[Berzerker]

Its 2024 and Libya/Iraq weren't Nato operations

[BeBMan]

France even left NATO for a while, at least the military part. Aside from back and forth diplo-moaning nothing happened back then, except the NATO HQ moving from Paris to Brussels. When Hungary had the idea to leave the Warsaw Pact in 1956 otoh Soviet tanks moved in...
