@ekZepp @matdevdug “Instead it became the only place consistently posting trustworthy information I could actually access. This became personally relevant when Trump threatened to invade Greenland, which is the kind of sentence I never expected to type and yet here we are. It would be funny if I wasn’t a tiny bit concerned that my new home was going to get a CIA overnight regime change special in the middle of the night.”

@ekZepp @matdevdug “So in this complete breakdown of the press came in the Fediverse. It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.”

@ekZepp funny, I thought this is what Google search is nowadays:
“Threads was worthless because it’s the most boring social media website ever imagined. It’s a social media network designed by brands for brands, like if someone made a cable channel that was just advertisements and meta commentary about the advertisements you just saw. Billions of dollars at their disposal and Meta made a hot new social media network with the appeal of junk mail.” @matdevdug

@mapto@feddit.bg turns out Macedonia is not the country with the least developed railways, and the link to Bulgaria is not the only one missing. It also has no links to Greece and Albania. Neither do these two countries have a link.

@avidamoeba Иначе тази руска връзка не е нещо ново или прикривано. Ето един разговор от преди 10 години:

Събеседникът е един от водещите руски агенти, работещи над България.

@avidamoeba fortunately, he wouldn’t have the numbers to take decisions on his own. Historically in coalition governments, pro-Russian parties in Bulgaria push to control the power ministries, but leave the economic ones to parties that have an understanding of the economy. We’ll see how it goes this time.

@rivoluzioneurbanamobilita @dariopnc @Otttoz @milano come grazie… Dall’immagine ne giornale sembrava che sono indicate tutte le strade. Invece è una segnalazione più mirata, ma ampia. Dai è un buon passo avanti. Hai ragione anche tu, ma almeno se ne parla, che per i miei standard è già tanto.

@Otttoz @dariopnc @rivoluzioneurbanamobilita @milano
ma scusa, tra le circolari e la cintura verde sono tutti i quartieri si prevede circolazione sulle strade? Quelle indicate come “urbani” sono semplicemente strade. O sbaglio qualcosa?

@nepravda “Recently, officials revealed that Moscow aggressively utilized covert financing, cyberattacks, and massive disinformation networks to interfere in Moldova’s elections and derail its European integration path. Security experts warned that the tactics perfected in nations like Moldova and Bulgaria are designed to be replicated across Europe as Moscow seeks to exploit vulnerable political environments far beyond the battlefield.”

@nepravda "The primary narratives involve fearmongering about alleged interference by Ukrainian intelligence services within Bulgaria, as well as accusing the European Union of acting against Bulgarian interests through the hands of Ukraine.

Additionally, there are systematic attempts to undermine public trust in the integrity of the electoral process and launch targeted smear campaigns against pro-European politicians."

@middlemanSI @mapto@feddit.bg would have been easier to hold off if Israel was not continuously reinforcing it, don’t you think?

@mau @ALFA @milano ammetto, l’ho scritto io questo…a mi avevo fatto aiutare da chatgpt…

@jbiserkov @nepravda As for the point you’re making, Russia has much larger capacity to finance his operations, and - as documented in this same article - it did.

3/3

@jbiserkov @nepravda The USSR had very long traditions of sexual honey traps. There are several high profile Russian women currently on trial for government-sponsored prostitution in the US. For the historical account, see “mozhno girls”

2/3

@jbiserkov @nepravda I don’t see any contradiction in him being at-least a double agent. After all, apparently he was the type of asset that only exposed high profile people, but was not provided intelligence information from the services themselves. 1/3

@nepravda "Things were picking up in 2019, as Putin was planning his invasion of Ukraine while Trump was preparing for the 2020 election.

In July 2019, Trump had conversations with five foreign leaders during and a presidential visit that month to Mar-a-Lago; they included Putin and the Emir of Qatar.

In one of those conversations Trump “made promises” to a “world leader” that were so alarming it provoked a national security scramble across multiple agencies."

@nepravda “Similarly, when they met in Helsinki on July 16, 2018, Trump and Putin talked in private for several hours and Trump ordered his translators’ notes destroyed; there is also concern that much of their conversation was done out of the hearing of the US’s translator (Putin is fluent in English) who may have been relegated to a distant part of the rather large empty ballroom in which they met.”

@nepravda "When Robert Mueller’s team tried to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia and they were stonewalled.

The Mueller Report identified ten specific instances of Trump trying to obstruct the investigation, including offering the bribe of a pardon to Paul Manafort, asking FBI Director Comey to “go easy” on General Flynn after Flynn’s dinner with Putin, and directing Attorney General Jeff Sessions to limit Mueller’s ability to investigate Trump’s connections to Russia."

@nepravda "There is no known parallel to this behavior by any president in US history and criminally bringing stolen top secret documents to Mar-a-Lago is just the tip of the iceberg.

The WP reported that Trump had a habit of carrying top-secret information that could severely damage our national security, leaving it in hotel rooms in hostile nations.

Was he bringing these documents with him to sell?.. Or because Putin told him to?"

@nepravda "Trump pardoned Manafort, which got him out of prison. He’s still fabulously rich from his work for Russia and his unpaid efforts to elect Trump.

As The New York Times noted in 2020:

“[I]nvestigators found enough there to declare that Mr. Manafort created ‘a grave counterintelligence threat’ by sharing inside information about the presidential race with Mr. Kilimnik and the Russian and [pro-Russian] Ukrainian oligarchs whom he served.”"
