  2. Their ambassador will have to endure the power of our Stern Look™. That should convince his government that they should not force us to use the threat of a raised voice on him!

  4. This is just fucking *embarrassing* for Russia now, how can they not see how utterly pathetic and useless they are?

    Their cyber-attacks always get caught and fail due to even basic security systems flagging them up before they’ve done much if any damage, and their “election interference” is about as useful as an old man ranting on a Facebook group (and indeed often does take the form of old men ranting on Facebook groups).

    I know it’s a mild ballache for security experts to keep on top of just in case they manage to work out how to mount a successful attack, but that aside it’s almost laughable how fucking stupid and incompetent they are.

  5. Why is it so hard to just cut Russia off from the rest of the western world! Oh yeah money!

  7. Russia can do whatever its wants.
    They will simply deny any involvement regardless of how much evidence is actually found, which is completely expected from such a weak and spineless nation.
    It’s time for Europe to stand up as one grow some balls and sort Russia out they need to be put in their place.

  8. Direct election interference by foreign nations should be grounds for extreme penalties that are enforced with extreme prejudice.

  9. Western countries need to collectively wake up and go back to Cold War levels of counter-intelligence, if they haven’t already. That includes Social Media these days.

    Clearly Russia can’t help themselves clinging to stupid unnecessary Cold War games, because that was the last time Putin felt relevant.

  11. cyber disinformation is everywhere, and our social media platforms let it happen.

  12. Additional advice, besides the obvious don’t visit right now, but specifically also don’t visit Florida. Their #1 sources of income is tourism. Let the magats wallet dry up

  13. Do something about it, Europe! Accusing and condemning does nothing, just emboldens Putin.

  14. They’ve been doing it since 2015 starting with the United States and the politicians in both the U.S. and Europe have done nothing and the electorate is too stupid to resist voting for the clearly wrong choice.

  15. Talk talk talk keep talking lads that will scare the shit out of them russians.

  16. Not surprising, redpill factories and their disinformation campaigns played a significant role in MAGAs development and trumps election. As successful as the strategy was at dividing the states it stands to reason they’ll shift focus to destabilizing other nato allies

  18. Oh yeah, we had that happen here in America a while back. Didn’t really do anything about it, though.

    Y’all may want to nip that in the bud.

  20. I dont think this can be called news it ongoing for decades.

  21. Was ist denn jetzt mit dem Zurückhacken, liebe Bundesregierung?

  24. Don’t accuse them, attack them back. That is how you fight a war.

    If all the countries that Russia cyber attacks would attack back, Russia will be living in the dark ages, with no internet and nothing that is connected to it working.

    The lack of balls in the West is disturbing. The Russians fucked with the Turks one time by sending one of the war planes and the Turks immediately shot it down. They never dared fuck with the Turks again. That is how you deal with Russia.

  25. Years into the war in Ukraine and more then a decade of propaganda war on the internet and Europe are still outclassed by Russians on the internet.

  26. I give it 7 years before Germany leads Europe in rearming to the point they get sick and tired of Russias shit and just flood troops into Ukraine.

  29. Maybe we should do them a favor and start helping them cut intercontinental internet lines

  30. MAGA are going to be very upset at this accusation against the country they wish they lived in

  32. Everyone knows it was Russia. But what’s Germany going to do about it?

  34. Just cut every cable that goes into the country and setup signal jammers along the borders.

    Russia doesn’t need to have easy access to western society anymore.

  35. And that will be the end of it, “strongly” worded letter, and nothing will actually happen or change

  39. Putin needs to get voted out, or forced. Either is fine by me. But once hes out of office, theres nothing protecting him anymore, and hes going to court if hes still breathing.

  40. Russia has been waging a war for the last decade or more by pushing disinformation and manipulating the masses via social media, meanwhile the west is still busy writing sternly worded letters asking them to knock it off.

  41. Why doesn’t the West put AI to work and crash the bad actors of the world.?
