Russia has seemingly decided who it wants Putin the Oval Office

The Biden administration on Wednesday seized 32 websites and charged two employees of a state-owned media outlet connected to a $10 million scheme to distribute pro-Kremlin propaganda, and claimed the actions were necessary to counter Russia’s attempts to influence the upcoming US presidential election.

"The USA has been trying to maintain 'the global leadership' by strategically defeating Russia," according to this project proposal, adding that a growing number of politicians support a domestic-issue agenda, as opposed to"wasting money in Ukraine and other 'problem regions.'" The Doppelgänger domain takedowns are part of a larger, coordinated effort across multiple US government agencies to combat Russia's"covert attempts to sow division and trick Americans into unwittingly consuming foreign propaganda," according to FBI director Christopher Wray.

Court docs state those vids were viewed over 16 million times on YouTube alone since November 2023 – without the creator ever disclosing it was funded and directed by RT. Meanwhile, the Treasury Department sanctioned Kalashnikov and Afanasyeva, along with eight other individuals and two entities, in response to"Moscow's malign influence efforts targeting the 2024 US presidential election."
