24/7 Russian Propaganda Blitz Hit Moldova Before the Elections - VSquare.org Moldovans had faced months, if not years, of an information onslaught at levels beyond what just about any society has faced. In the end, the pro-European ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) won 50.2% of the vote, while the pro-Russian Patriotic Bloc managed only 24.2%, despite well-documented foreign interference, mainly from Russia and pro Kremlin actors.

💥🔎🇷🇺 This new analysis reveals the scale of Russia’s massive propaganda offensive in Moldova: 9,900 AI-generated TikTok videos with over 93 million views. Yet despite Moscow’s efforts, the pro-European PAS won the election. Read the full details on @vsquare.bsky.social:

Tusk said a similar thing today. Sounds like a concerted message.

That's the Poland I want to see!

aggressively missing the point award

your problem, not mine

ESL'd that hard

While valid points, they have nothing to do with NATO not having commitments to parties outside not party to the treaty (which would make the entire thing unworkable for obvious reason)

Or rather, the specific NATO alliance

Ignoring the snark, that's generally kind of the idea behind an alliance?

That's kind of the purpose of NATO?

Insane how Japan allows itself to get ripped off like this

Why? Who's gonna stop them?

TIL Hungary is an unfriendly country to Russia

Yes, reward him even more for his idiocy. Stellar plan.

Oh, the country that gave less than Lithuania despite having 20x the economy? I guess at least their generals can learn something from Ukraine being ground into dust. Everyone can profit.

I never thought about it this way. It brings to mind the very different treatments Germany received after each of it's lost World Wars. A vengeful Versailles being a major catalyst for Hitler's rise and a more lenient 4+1 treaty which allowed Germanies peaceful integration into the West

Uplifting to see that Americans are finally doing the prudent thing and think about how to properly learn from Ukraine's experiences while simultaneously throwing it to the wolves. Extract all possible value, then discard. American leadership.

How would they recoup the income? Even more debts? Seriously cut spending (lol)? Raise taxes (double lol)? The tariffs are here to stay.

markets go brrrr

It's a total rip-off

This capitulation is a total humiliation for every European

Yeah, I do. It's a continental humiliation.

It's a total and utter humiliation

Orbán is in danger of losing power, and possibly going to jail (with friends and family), and he knows it. This makes him extra dangerous and means the EU should be extra vigilant the coming months.

Americans voted for this.

Europe is export oriented relying heavily on the American market to consume it's products. I haven't yet seen anyone square that circle.

It's true you dimwit

America IS the rules based order. An organ cannot retaliate against the body.

We used to be at almost 2000 a day...

they also seem to fail to understand the importance and foundations of credibility which, at least to Colby, seems to be a property flowing naturally from ones weapons stockpiles and aircraft carriers
