AP) — A Russian operative under the supervision of one of the Kremlin’s main intelligence services has been charged with recruiting political groups in the United States to advance pro-Russia propaganda, including during the invasion of Ukraine, the Justice Department said Friday.
The indictment of Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov reflects what U.S. officials say are ongoing Russian government efforts to meddle in the American political process, to shape public opinion and to sow discord and dissent on hot-button social issues.
In this case, the authorities say, Ionov from 2014 through last March recruited political groups in Florida, Georgia and California and directed them to spread pro-Russia talking points

Comrade Jon Preston,
you say you’re anti-war, yet you support the one country (RUSSIA) that started this conflict, and continues to keep it going
that’s why you have no cred here
LOL! Whenever the current FedGov and mockingbird media call someone a “Russian Propagandist”, it would be wise to start off assuming they are a patriot.
Besides Biden's foreign policy, vis a vis, this illegal war, what other positions do you agree with him on?
US groups spreading Propaganda: CNN, NPR, NBC,etc.
Google, facebook, twitter, msm
What about all of the MEXICAN citizens influencing our elections?
And check out the Brits influencing our politics in the late 30s and 40s to oppose Isolationist candidates.
“Which Freepers Are now worried?”
Likely the ones spreading the lies about Ukraine.
Neocons are roaches that constantly need the light shined on them
What’s exactly is there to be worried about?
I am NOT pro-Ukraine.
I am anti-ZelenskyyIdiot.
I am anti-US sending Ukraine more money than the Entire Russian military budget.
I am against indirect or direct US involvement in Ukraine.
We have no business being over in Ukraine nor should Americans be shedding blood for Ukraine....but they are.
I don’t buy into any and all pro-Ukraine Media propaganda that gets spewed on and within FR DAILY.
What exactly am I or others who feel the same way have to be worried about? The US or Ukrainian Ministry of Truth coming to get us. Good luck with that.
“And, which Democrat Party operatives are going to be charged with subverting the US government? And, when?”
Rhetorical question, but note that Ukraine cheerleaders virtually NEVER have anything bad to say about the people running this country. One guy here (from yesterday), hot and heavy for Ukraine, had something like 300 comments over the past 20+ years (virtually nothing), and until Ukraine, most were anti-Trump.
But, in a way, how can they? After all the people in this country started the war over there, a way they have likely ALWAYS wanted. Now they can finally march on Moscow...except the war isn’t going so great, so now they’re about to start one with China. And why the hell not, after all, the economy SUCKS and people need something to distract them. And what harm is a few, or a few hundred, nukes anyway?
not much, obviously
but Russia is a monster that must be stopped ... anyone who’s unbiased can see that
“but Russia is a monster that must be stopped ... anyone who’s unbiased can see that”
Exactly why we’re fighting Soros and the WEF in Ukraine. If they don’t get that country, they lose EVERYTHING. And that is a GOOD THING for the West.
Not obvious at all. Anyone who supports Biden's war, and the damage it's doing to the Ukraine and America's middle class, has other defects.
there you go with the disinformation again
Russia is always innocent, everyone else is always to blame LOL
Look dumbass, Russia invaded a neighboring country, not the other way around. Period. End of story.

Exactly how is propaganda a “crime”. If it is, the MSM is guilty of it every damn day (ex. “a recession is not two negative GDP quarters”).
You pro-Russia/anti-Ukraine posters routinely call out and denigrate those who don’t agree with you. Yet, now you get the fantods because someone asked a simple, yet legitimate question?

The lack of self-awareness is deep in this one.
Unfortunately, that includes None of the Russian influencers on FR. They have no objectivity, moral compass, or independent thinking.
They are 100% subjective in serving the intentions and actions of Putin.
What's good for Putin is "Good".
What's bad for Putin is "Bad".
Paid Trolls.
