Trump official who shut down counter-Russia agency has links to Kremlin
The Telegraph ^

Posted on 06/03/2025 3:47:11 PM PDT by USA-FRANCE

A senior official who dismantled the US government’s Russian disinformation unit is married to a Russian woman with links to the Kremlin, The Telegraph can reveal. Darren Beattie has provoked alarm within the State Department since being appointed in February for his ardent pro-Russian views. He has been noted for his focus on destroying the agency tasked with tackling Kremlin propaganda. Mr Beattie, the acting under-secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs, is married to a woman whose uncle has taken several roles in Russian politics and once received a personal “thank you” message from Vladimir Putin.

You believe anything from England, don’t you?

The more dirt thrown at Trump and the US, the more jizztic you become.

I’m shocked that Beattie is married, given his regular sneering about women. But maybe it is only American women who draw his wrath.

Given the credibility of the Russian media versus the European media, it’s more like they were making up crap and claiming it was from Russia.

I posted Trump’s anti-russia deeds in response to a Freeper’s comment on this thread. It proves that Trump is anti-Kremlin and has therefore been deceived by Darren Beattie who is... pro-russian.

Cool... this entire war with Russia has been manufactured. They were chest bumped by us for two full decades and the Russian propaganda in our elections was a lie.

It cannot be fixed now for probably a few decades, but good to limit the damage of the State Department.

“The U.S. (under Trump) imposed sanctions on Russian private military companies, including Wagner Group”

Don’t forget gunning down about 300 of them, when they attempted to assault Kurdish-held oil fields in Eastern Syria.

Actually, The Telegraph is an excellent right-wing British national broadsheet newspaper, founded in 1855.

They are very good.

To show how investigative they are :

New York Times was founded in 1851. They suck, too.

“Don’t forget (Trump) gunning down about 300 of them (Russians),”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Absolutely!
Trump is the only American President who ordered the eradication of 300 Russian soldiers. It was a massacre, but it was the right decision. Trump protected an American base.

I read the Telegraph quite often; they have veered quite a bit far to the left of the main Republican Party, in fact I would say the current version would fit right in with the views of Kamala Harris. Darren Beattie has been on the media hit list for some time - he manages The Revolver and has uncovered a lot to indicate that the J6 thing was orchestrated by the FBI and perhaps a few other agencies.
