A team of researchers at the University of Adelaide have found that as many as 80 percent of tweets about the 2022 Russia-Ukraine invasion in its early weeks were part of a covert propaganda campaign originating from automated fake “bot” accounts.
An anti-Russia propaganda campaign originating from a “bot army” of phony automated Twitter accounts flooded the internet at the start of the war.
The research shows that of the more than 5 million tweets studied, 90.2 percent (both bot and non-bot) came from accounts that were pro-Ukraine, with fewer than 7 percent of the accounts being classed as pro-Russian.

They’re not changing anyone’s mind and are annoying as heck.
Several of us support the idea of letting them have one thread each day where they can post their gazillion links and pictures to themselves and their designated acolytes. And all Uke-Rus articles would be confined to just that thread.
This would prevent them from befouling and beclowning the forum with their irritating, prolific propaganda spam, day in and day out.
What they should do is have ONE thread like the Garden Thread, the Q thread, the Trump Family Train thread, they could post a single Thread called the Ukraine Russia thread and post all of their NEW information there, this way there won’t be thread after thread of these pro Ukraine articles EVERYWHERE!! I too am sick to death of hearing about the Ukraine BS the most corrupt country on the planet!!
There are a few. There are two who post daily threads and reply to themselves and their designated acolytes over and over with all manner of links and pictures to keep the threads active in the forum.
They and their acolytes are very nasty to their detractors. One tries to come off as pious and hits the Abuse button regularly, trying to censor any opposition to her propaganda and the other appears to have the IQ of a gnat, repeating the same lame little insults to his detractors over and over.
Then there are the ones who just randomly post several propaganda articles a day. Their camp followers appear on all of these threads, yipyapping and snapping, hissing insults at anybody who opposes the propagandists.
It really has gotten old.
Yes. That’s pretty much what I just said.
A lot of us have recommended the one-thread approach to solve the excessive Uke-Rus propaganda issue.
Or are these really russian bots posing as anti russian bots just to help Trump win in 2024. /s

Count me in. How do we start? Make a vanity post announcing what we want to do (like the Q thread), and to hit the Abuse button on each thread? Ask for consolidation to one thread?
Would they need 1 person to be “mod,” like the Q threads? Maybe find the most prolific poster, not prone to personal attacks, suggest him/her/bot?
Need short, specific verbage...
Same bots are probably also the ones pushing tranny crappola and denial of Epstein trafficking.
It’s like you are in middle school and there is a clique bullying, posting lies, pushing drugs, etc. All the same evil people. All of the time. Every time.
Well said
I didn't think so
Lol… can they remove them from FR too. Every one know what Biden says is true… Ukraine is about Russian regime change bc the globalists require Russian natural resources and slave labor. This requires a puppet like zel who was installed y the Obama crowd.
All I can think of we must be out of Afghanistan lithium already.
I can’t believe the number of people who believe every bit of propaganda coming from both sides of this war.
But, I do tend to disbelieve anything coming from our deep-state actors. If they will lie to us about the Hunter Biden laptop, I’m certainly not going to believe anything else they say. That’s what happens when an institution loses your trust.
I suspect the truth on this war, is somewhere in the middle. However, for some reason, the Biden administration and supporters of this war seem to have a special interest is protecting either information, power, or money when it comes to Ukraine. The number of politicians or the politically-connected who have made the trek to a nation in the middle of a war(and a pandemic that was a year ago supposed to be so deadly that international travel was restricted) is suspicious in and of itself.
