The U.S. intelligence community believes the Kremlin will direct its propaganda efforts to support former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election, an intelligence official indicated on a media call Monday.

Iran is likely to continue to try to denigrate Trump, the official said, and China doesn’t appear to have a preference in the presidential race but may try to interfere in congressional races.

The call, held by the Foreign Malign Influence Center, one of the few arms of the U.S. government devoted to countering foreign propaganda campaigns, elaborated on an agency alert about foreign propaganda campaigns released Monday afternoon.

The official’s remarks were the clearest sign yet that the U.S. believes Trump remains Russia’s preferred candidate even after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee.

    Putin is trying to fuck the West, anyone with more than 3 functioning neurons can see this plain truth. He’s trying to reverse the outcome of the Cold War, with dissolution of NATO and renovation of the Soviet Union (for starters). And idiot republican traitors are enabling it. Idiot right wingers in Europe, too. Fucking morons.

    Spoiler alert: he also fire bombed those Paris train stations for the purpose of demonstrating to the russian people that the West is no better than russia.

    He should be bayoneted up the ass ASAP.

      This …

      anyone with more than 3 functioning neurons can see this plain truth

      … and this …

      He’s trying to reverse the outcome of the Cold War, with dissolution of NATO and renovation of the Soviet Union (for starters)

      … do not combine well.

      There are fucking morons here. Those who think that the pit their enemy is digging for them is the same old pit as 60 years ago are the biggest morons of all.

      Nah, Putin, Aliyev, Saudis, all these work at eroding the very idea of some international order and justice and civilization and progress. They are obviously very successful.

      Imagine being so insecure that you have to tell people you’re not a robot. I mean honestly, what real person adds “btw not a robot” to their statements?

      I can’t think of a better way to out myself as a Russian troll.

    USA: long history of interfering with foreign election, and other countries politics with public support for specific candidate.

    Russia: do the same.

    USA: How can they do that!?
