    The Pentagon’s audit concluded that the military’s primary contractor handling the campaign, General Dynamics IT, had employed sloppy tradecraft, taking inadequate steps to hide the origin of the fake accounts, said a person with direct knowledge of the review.

    we also got the ‘vaccines are a chinese ploy to implant microchips’ thing in brazil. and our fascist president at the time met with plenty of cia people.

    wouldn’t be surprised if that was us too.

      “What are we, a bunch of Asians?!” is the most bipartisan phrase in Amerika.

      maybe-later-honey says it in response to whenever they need to accept the fact that yes, Amerika did do a bad thing.

      frothingfash says it in response to you suggesting the simplest, most objectively good policy like high speed rail or walkable cities.

        Not as many as the US but far more than they should have. The Sino-Soviet split was a disaster for humanity.

        Counterpoint: I actually think a lot of these ghouls are 100% self aware, know their the bad guys but just love all the power and treats they get. I suspect they literally cackle like Lord Freeza in the privacy of their own homes while loudly announcing their cynical Machiavellian plans to nobody.

    Lmao. The reasoning is ChIna used social media to urge investigation of Fort Detrick, so the US military ran an Anti-Vaxx campaign in a 3rd party country. Pretty standard US response tbh. amerikkka-clap

    Also, if they’re claiming China is behind the Fort Detrick lab leak theory, that bumps up its legitimacy in my eyes.

      I was skeptical about the Fort Detrick lab leak theory for a while, but when Biden stopped pushing the Wuhan lab leak theory the second China said “sure, you can investigate the Wuhan lab if we can investigate Fort Detrick”, that made me a lot more suspicious

      Also, also, I read some of that DOJ complaint and they also claim that China tried to sow discourse by posting about George Floyd and American hypocrisy. Which is pretty wild how even according to the US, US enemies are always like “and this bad thing the US is doing is bad and you should do something about that” while the US is like “we will provide arms and training for death squads for capitalism.”

      Really drives the point home, imo.

      Man I wonder what kind of political messaging would be getting spread by American military contractors that were given carte blanche to do whatever the fuck they wanted in service to an operation literally designed to kill innocent people to spite their socialist geopolitical rival

      hitler-detector also, why does this keep beeping

    Why is everybody so upset? The CIA is morally neutral: this is just to offset the good that they did by running that fake pro-vaccination campaign in Pakistan.
