Intel: Putin may cite Ukraine war to meddle in US politics
AP ^ | April 9, 2022 | NOMAAN MERCHANT

Russian President Vladimir Putin may use the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine as a pretext to order a new campaign to interfere in American politics, U.S. intelligence officials have assessed.

Intelligence agencies have so far not found any evidence that Putin has authorized measures like the ones Russia is believed to have undertaken in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections in support of former President Donald Trump, according to several people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive findings.

But given Putin’s antipathy toward the West and his repeated denunciations of Ukraine, officials believe he may see the U.S. backing of Ukraine’s resistance as a direct affront to him, giving him further incentive to target another U.S. election, the people said.

I guess AP did not get the memo from the puppeteers about that “Russian Collusion” thing being as dead as Marley’s Ghost.

“AP - America’s Pravda.”

More like America’s TASS. NYT is America’s Pravda.

Will this be the new excuse for Dems mid term loses? Now every Republican who wins will be a Russian agent . Neocons RINOs will back up mainstream media too.
Or will it be an excuse for more censorship ?
Maybe “we have to change voting laws so Russians can’t cheat” (by making it easier to cheat)

Gosh. Between the expected Russian meddling, and the expected COVID surge in the fall, we better not have elections this year.

In other words, when the GOP takes back the house during the mid-terms, it will be blamed on Russia. Therefore, all of us on the right are traitors and tools of Putin.

The United States NEVER meddles in the politics of other countries!

Wait, I thought the 2020 election was perfect? People are being cancelled for saying otherwise.

Re memo:

Nope. Their democrat handlers figured it worked once with the average moron democrat voter, so it’ll work again just in time for the midterms.

Gives them an excuse when they get walloped at the polls.

“as a pretext to order a new campaign to interfere in American politics”

....

Throw in a tank of gas, and I’m yours.

“Russian President Vladimir Putin may use the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine as a pretext to order a new campaign to interfere in American politics, U.S. intelligence officials have assessed.”

And this is AFTER our own US Intelligence Agencies openly admit that they are LYING TO AMERICANS.

They’re playing some type of sick mind game on the public at this point, and I can’t figure out why.

“DP Video Ministry of Propaganda”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehrjf7QE_TY

Evidence that Ukraine train station cluster bomb attack was false flag done to drag NATO into the war

Video goes through these cluster bomb rockets, who owns them, who uses them, down to details, chapter and verse. Notably, it’s the same Scarab-U cluster bomb rocket fired into downtown Donetsk by the Ukes last March, killing pro-Russian civilians.

The meaning of "Intel" in the headline is that this is an official US Deep Swamp False Flag operation, rather than a US Mainstream Media Propaganda False Flag operation.

Either way, the headline says: A Russia, Russia, Russia, False Flag is on the way, and this is the first Putin's heard of it.

Notice some key phrases here:

Putin may use..officials have assessed...Intelligence agencies have so far not found any evidence...Russia is believed to have undertaken...according to several people familiar with the matter... officials believe

Sounds more like speculation than “intel”.

Thanks, Travis, sadly I’m no longer surprised by the depravity of the Uke HomoNazi War Crimes.

The "Russia evil! Trump evil!" narrative isn't quite dead; they've just morphed it into "Russia evil! Trump's fault!", hoping to have a crisis in place to justify more mail-in ballots this coming November. In other words, Marley's Ghost did a costume change and is reappearing as the Ghost of Christmas Future (2022), with Ukraine playing Tiny Tim. The more gullible folks here are giving it two thumbs up!

Sure, some foul mouth basement dweller with a camo blanket background and a YouTube channel is your ‘source’?

You funny.
