“We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying”

All these months later and fuckhead still thinks tariffs are a tax on other countries.

I’m not in the UK, but I recall Iran being in the media a lot in China and the US. Back when Trump assassinated one of their generals during his first term, the recurring abductions and rapes of women and young girls by the morality police that sparked nationwide protests, the arms they are providing for Russia in their invasion of Ukraine, and now Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iranian infrastructure and citizens.

Not sure how you got any of that from what I was saying. Feel free to take your black and white worldview somewhere else.

From my understanding of how they operate, it’s less “Everybody is lying except this one source” and more “Everybody in my bubble appears to be saying these things, so it must be true.”

The strategy utilizes armies of bots and bad actors whose purpose is to infiltrate and influence specific demographics on social media into accepting the Russia-supported narrative. The people who buy the narrative will then in turn parrot it to other members of their social circles to legitimize it. So when the western media outlets and elected officials who took Russia’s money repeat these same ideas, they are more easily accepted as true.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

All of the Russian state-sponsored misinformation campaigns have probably paid for themselves ten times over with how strongly they’ve succeeded in tipping the scales of geopolitics in Russia’s favor.
