>> #Ukraine is the raison d'être for Russian #electionInterference in 2024
Ukraine is the reason #GOP chose #Trump in 2016.
Ukraine is the reason Trump hand-picked Paul #Manafort, who then hand-picked Mike #Pence.
Ukraine is the reason why #Trump was first impeached — He withheld military aid to Ukraine and #Zelenskyy's invitation to the White House, and spread false narratives that Ukraine, not Russia was behind 2016 #electionInterference

#Ukraine is the raison d'être for US #electionInterference
Nothing to see here except #Russians brazenly admitting use of comments to spread "false reworked project narratives supported by facts" and "targeted social engineering based on info trends and users' emotional attitude towards them"
To achieve targeted social engineering they're looking for unusual user reactions to identify narratives that directly impact #Ukrainian public opinion

"Sleeper" Groups in #SwingStates NV, GA, AZ, PA, MI, and WI
They are sleeper groups because they would be only "moderately" promoted and only as "news groups"
Initially they'd attract audience through targeted advertising.
"Upon gaining momentum" they'd be activated to influence public opinion in critically important states and portals used by #Russians to "distribute bogus stories disguised as newsworthy events"

The #Russian disinformation project's toolkit includes a #YouTube channel with extensive viral pro-#Trump content — including beautiful girls for #MAGA incels.
Even though the goal is clearly political, they'd hide that to evade attention of social media outlet's administration until they accumulate a critical number of viewers.
Meanwhile, they'd rely on search engines to catapult them to 1st pages with links to "US Elections" themed channel

It's obvious that #Republicans are spouting #Russian talking points when they say that "US should target efforts towards addressing domestic issues instead of wasting money in #Ukraine and other problem areas"
Also it explicitly states that Russia should put "MAXIMUM effort to ensure that Republican point of view (opinion of #MAGA #Trump supporters) wins over the [entire] US public opinion"— including #Musk's call to cede territory in Ukraine

Keep in mind that this is Russian disinfo that they want to disseminate to above target audience.
So when they say "there is a real chance to steer the US public opinion in the right direction" they mean "right" direction from the Russian perspective, not US
Or that US desire for "global leadership" shapes its "efforts to keep the conflict in #Ukraine going," they want the above target audience to believe it regardless of actual truth.
Thread on Good Old USA #GOUSA — promote #isolationism. See Exhibit 8A of #DoppelgangerAffidavit on #Russian disinfo page 216
Russia's Target: #SwingStates, #ConservativeStates, #Hispanic citizens, American #Jews, #gamers, #Reddit and image boards, such as #4chan
Russia's Goal: Secure #Trump victory by telling above target audience that:
1. US "has been doing way too much to support #Ukraine"
2 Ukraine war must end ASAP
#GOUSA — promote #isolationism — part of #Russia's "foreign malign influence campaign" #FMIC Plans for #Election2024
Feds served a warrant on #Meta to corroborate that #Doppelganger used #AI tools to generate content, including images and videos, for use in negative advertisements about #US politicians.
Anybody remember #Trump claiming that images of crowds at #KamalaHarris rallies were generated by AI?
Or #Musk sharing an AI-generated image of #Harris in red #Nazi uniform?
#Russia's #Doppelganger "foreign malign influence campaign" #FMIC Plans for #Election2024 include the following projects:
1. Good Old USA #GOUSA — promote #isolationism
2. Guerrilla Media Campaign in the US #USGMC — exploit perceived #polarization
3. US Social Media Influencers Network #USSMIN — avoid #detection & #mitigation
4. Target US by Influencing Other Countries #USTIOC — #electionInterference
