....The statement did not give details of the complaint, but Russian authorities have pressured Google and Apple to remove apps of the Smart Voting initiative designed by the team of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

The program aims to advise voters which candidates are in the best position to defeat candidates from United Russia, the party that dominates parliament, in the Sept. 19 election....

Democrats will now spread their election fraud methods globally. They accused Trump of a lot of things and it turns out to be their normal spin as Biden is actually doing them. I saw a video about how it is much worse in Afghanistan than anyone realizes, and you can check it out in crawler link top of page at Whatfinger News. Joe basically armed the Taliban instead of the resistance. Of course Biden will interfere in other elections, just as Obama did with Israel’s.

They sure as **** aren’t ever going to impeach Biden. Even McCarthy said if R’s take the House back he won’ do it, and then days later McConnell said no Senate investigations of Biden is that flips R.

They blame him for everything, then while he tries to prove his innocence (the opposite of our legal standard) the left go off and commit new crimes.

In fact, it has been about a month since one could see anything but the calls to vote against Putin’s party in the oncoming elections with EVERY ad coming with YouTube videos in Russia.
Voting against Putin is the single thing Google advertises for several weeks in a row.

It is not that I care too much, nor is it any effective, mostly exposing “opposition” for who they are.

I mostly find it hilarious in light of non-stop moaning about the Russian “interference” in the US elections.

Of course, the Russian “opposition” didn’t buy all of the air time on YouTube by itself.
