I'm worried what will happen to my blood pressure if I read this whole article https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/21/russia-china-iran-disinformation-coronavirus-state-department-193107

Oh yeah, the disinformation that U.S. sanctions are contributing to the death of Iranians during the pandemic

This is dumb obviously, but it's Zvezda (article in question, I assume, is https://tvzvezda.ru/news/vstrane_i_mire/content/202023353-O9wUV.html). Zvezda is full of conspiracy clickbait about things like UFOs, plus it's entirely in Russian meant for a domestic audience.

Yeah I wonder why these countries are reporting propaganda about how the US is failing to uphold to commitments to international agreements after we failed to uphold to commitments to the international agreement with Iran.

RT is trash but they just reported on a quote here, if this is the best the GEC can come up with then it's pretty rough.

Trump is getting his supporters to drink fish tank cleaner and lick the door handles of Applebees, and Politico is pumping up a report about TV Zvezda printing (in Russian) some dumb conspiracy about Bill Gates. Fretting about a papercut while bleeding out from a stabbing.

I'll let others speculate on why the GEC has been neutered and hardly got anything publicly/leaked out for years after its funding was approved, until now
