Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[Geronimo]

I guess the Trump supporters who continue to believe he actually won the election are upset that others tell lies as well.

Most of them aren't liars. They just loyally and enthusiastically quaff the kool-ade. I'm not even sure Trump is primarily a liar in this regard, although being deluded enough to treat his wishful thinking as established fact makes him even less suited to the presidency than the usual pathological liar behavior patterns.

Whoever did it was 8 years too late, at least.

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.

[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.
