So, who thinks they knew and who thinks they were just useful idiots?

The Russians directed their U. S. employees to emphasize the following “campaign topics”: “Encroaching universal poverty. Record inflation. Halting of economic growth. Unaffordable prices for food and essential goods”; “Risk of job loss for white Americans”; “Privileges for people of color, perverts, and disabled”; “Constant lies of the [Democratic] administration about the real situation in the country”; “Threat of crime coming from people of color and immigrants”; “Overspending on foreign policy and at the interests of white US citizens”; “Constant lies to the voters by [Democrats] in power.”

The target audience of the campaign was “[Republican] voters,” [Trump] supporters, “Supporters of traditional family values,” and “White Americans, representing the lower-middle and middle class.” The focus was in particular on “[r]esidents of "swing states whose voting results impact the outcomes of the elections more than other states.

This information came out Wednesday when the Departments of Justice, State, and the Treasury announced sanctions against 10 individuals and 2 entities, and criminal charges against two employees of RT, a Russian state-controlled media outlet, who allegedly funded a company in the U. S. to hire right-wing social media influencers to push Russian propaganda before the 2024 election.

The company the Russians funded appears to be Tenet Media, a company registered by Liam Donovan and Lauren Tam, who is associated with The Blaze and Turning Point USA, as well as RT. The two appear to be married. The indictment alleges that the company’s two founders knew they were working for the Russians, but suggests the six commentators—Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, Tayler Hansen, Matt Christiansen, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson, all staunch Trump supporters—did not know where their massive paychecks originated. After the story broke, five of the commentators denied any knowledge of the source of the company’s funding.

They all knew what they were doing

Probably Tim and Matt knew but the others were genuinely unaware

Some other combination knew

None of them knew.

Well the question is who are the ‘useful idiots’ for Putin?

Those supporting Ukraine to fight against Putin’s dreams of reuniting Soviet controlled land of the past when he was a boy OR “He’s going to be a peace keeper, we need that on our southern border” & “I’ll force Zelenskyy and Putin into peace negotiations and end the war in a day”?

Answer: Those playing to Putin’s whims.

I remember when Republicans were against Communism yet they constantly bend backwards to Putin, Xi, Kim Jung Un, etc. They are all allies so, if you are against one you should be against all yet these people are simply Useful Idiots by playing to their whims.

I’m against Communists around the globe and dictatorships. Putin ordered his men to commit war crimes via sending missiles into children’s hospitals, putting murdered unarmed Ukrainian civilians into mass graves, and raiding Ukrainian Museums for artifacts & culture they can steal for Russia’s gain.

Americans will have to decide Western Civilization or Putin’s Puppet, that is what they are deciding here.
