THREAD: Word on the street is that Moscow is escalating their pseudo-scandal active measures campaign (aka “Burisma”/“DemoCorruption”/“UkraineGate”) against @JoeBiden over the next week or so, by dropping their propaganda lies through a report from Sen. @RonJohnsonWI (R-WI). https://twitter.com/selectedwisdom/status/1308550453479735297">https://twitter.com/selectedw...
Sen. Ron Johnson & his henchmen are getting their (dis)information from an old GRU operator named Andrey Derkach, who currently represents Putin in the Ukrainian parliament (yep). CIA has found that Putin is directing Derkach’s actions personally: /2 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/09/22/secret-cia-assessment-putin-probably-directing-influence-operation-denigrate-biden/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...
Derkach & Johnson have a crew of henchmen on this operation, notably including Rudy Giuliani & Chanel Rion of OANN, who traveled to Ukraine together (just gonna say it: ew) to get fed propaganda directly from Derkach himself. /3 https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/06/biden-ukraine-recordings-oan/612454/">https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/...
This is an incredibly brazen & transparent attack on our ability to act in our own interests as a society. Putin’s support for Trump is intended as a decapitation strike. This is a play for all the marbles, done with the expectation that the victim will be unable to retaliate. /4 https://twitter.com/propornot/status/1177290724800286720">https://twitter.com/propornot...
Trump is a sneak attack in Russia’s war on us - a walking, talking, slowly escalating, bespoke stealth Pearl Harbor. This is what it looks like when a mafia state wages war, & this is a war that Putin intends to win. He has to. His only plausible victory conditions are total. /6 https://twitter.com/propornot/status/1028006451548053505">https://twitter.com/propornot...
Decades of accumulated Russian propaganda have effectively reduced many folks’ ability to EVEN CONCEIVE of the fact that Russia is at war with us.

This illustrates the reach, influence, & generational scale of their propaganda operations.

The poison already runs deep. /7 https://twitter.com/propornot/status/994635383122968577">https://twitter.com/propornot...
