Russian cash-for-votes flows into Moldova as nation heads to polls"​

"
The sniffer dogs at Chisinau Airport have been working extra hard in recent months, searching for money that might be evidence of Russian meddling in Moldovan politics.

Ami, a black retriever, gives every suitcase that rolls in on the baggage claim belts a good sniff on all sides. If she detects cash, she will freeze. Back in May she was doing that a lot.

That is when customs officers began finding large amounts of money on passengers arriving via connecting flights from Moscow. People who had never left Moldova before were returning from a few days in Russia with wads of notes.

“Almost everyone had money: 2,000, 3,000, 7,000 euros”, the head of customs at Chisinau Airport, Ruslan Alexandrov, remembers. The amounts themselves were not illegal but the patterns were suspicious."

Yeah, Russia is playing dirty, and with Putin in charge always will. Are they influencing the US election, almost certainly. Maybe they're not paying money like this... because the US elections will cost far, far more to influence, but doing it in other ways.

Every nation seems to engage in some sort of influence campaign in U.S elections from allies to enemy.

How dare the Russians interfere in other’s elections. Only the CIA and US State Department are allowed to do that.

There is one nation in particular that interferes in US elections, as well as US government operations and policies. Do you it?

It turns out that Iran has an affinity for Democrats and the Biden/Harris admin sure does love them some intel leaks to save the Persians.

Yes, he does.

I will tell you how it works, if the pro Russian candidate wins it's rigged if the pro west candidate wins it's democracy. almost half a million Moldovan voters living in Russia have only been allocated ten thousand voting allocations.

"On Friday, top U.S. intelligence officials said Russians were behind the latest in a slew of faked propaganda videos, this one featuring purported Haitians boasting that they were voting multiple times in Georgia. The day-old video had been pushed on X by Amy Kremer, a member of the Republican National Committee and co-founder of Women for Trump."

Shake a tree near the MAGA Republicans, and a Russian falls out.

Oh yes, and that goes for the US election as well. If Trump wins it must be Russian manipulation that secured the win. How many gazillion Russians living in the US have voting rights? It must be at least 80% of the American population.

Correct – and Republicans will take part in facilitating the spread of Russian disinformation and lies in this and other US elections.

Some people only accept what is convenient

Worse yet, some people accept anything and everything.

Lots of people do, not me.

That's good to hear. Keep it that way.

Putin is no worse than Biden.
