In 2017, when she was still a Democratic member of Congress, Tulsi Gabbard traveled to Syria and met the country’s authoritarian president, Bashar al-Assad. She also accused the United States of supporting terrorists there.
The day after Vladimir V. Putin began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Ms. Gabbard blamed the United States and NATO for provoking the war by ignoring Russia’s security concerns.
She has since suggested that the United States covertly worked with Ukraine on dangerous biological pathogens and was culpable for the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipeline from Russia to Germany in September 2022. European prosecutors and U.S. officials say that sabotage was carried out by Ukrainian operatives.
Ms. Gabbard’s comments have earned her sharp rebukes from officials across the political spectrum in Washington, who have accused her of parroting the anti-American propaganda of the country’s adversaries. Her remarks have also made her a darling of the Kremlin’s vast state media apparatus — and, more recently, of President-elect Donald J. Trump, who this week nominated her to oversee the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies and departments.
Her nomination as the director of national intelligence has raised alarms among national security officials, not only because of her lack of experience in intelligence but also because she has embraced a worldview that mirrors disinformation straight out of the Kremlin’s playbook.
No evidence has emerged that she has ever collaborated in any way with Russia’s intelligence agencies. Instead, according to analysts and former officials, Ms. Gabbard seems to simply share the Kremlin’s geopolitical views, especially when it comes to the exercise of American military power.
In Russia, the reaction to her appointment has been gleeful, even if Mr. Putin’s government remains wary of American policies, even under a second Trump administration.

Send her to a 2 week coding, that’s all she needs. Can also be taken on-line.
She’s catching a lot of flak.
McCarthyism, pure and simple. As the left defines that term.
Over the target as they say.
👍
Here we go. Democrats on relentless attack for the next four years.
Gosh…someone using their brain rather than the “official narrative”? She must be a Russian agent! /s
In looking at such a brain dead headline, I knew at once it would be a Slimes article.
I was not wrong.
it’s the NY Times, not worth reading
They weren't terrorists. They were John McCain's friends.
After the bombing and a tip on X I found the following. I lost it for a few years when the computer I was using died, but I got into the SSD on it recently and found the URL in the screenshot I saved was still valid:
Location of the USS Kearsarge, 9/21/22
As I recall, the Kearsarge remained parked over/near the Nordstream blast site for about a week before abruptly steaming off at full speed 48 hours before the blast, going thru the Denmark straits, across the North Sea and through the English Channel before the blasts. The Wikipedia page for the ship helpfully notes the ship was involved in UUV/UAV training operations in the Baltic in the weeks leading up to the blast. Hmmm....
I'd love to see some investigative journalists do a deeper dive on this.
Didn't read the article. Just a guess.
See my tagline.
They must be scared of her for some reason.
They’ll let you know who the good ones are.
Hopefully we don’t do what we always do and carry their water for them.
There they go again at the New Yawk Slimes. Russia, Russia, and Russia.
Exposing Deep State and Swamp corruption = accusations of being a Russian asset.
anyone who disagrees with the official govt narrative
is a foreign agent
