Surprise..... NOT! These fucktards take money from everyone to reach their ugly goals. And Putin and his intelligence services are known for this. I just hope this has some consequences. But I fear it will not.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Here in Italy they have been smarter... even if some parties received funds linked to "United Russia", they declared it was in the "pre-war" era, so unrelated to any criminal purpose.
I'm not sure if I like the idea of clever fascists. ;-) I just hope for you guys that Meloni gets nothing done as far as her fascist goals go.
Me neither, but it's a news of what happened yesterday when a minister had to face a motion of no-confidence (obviously they were confirmed) and used this justification.
Lesson learned: don't consider Italy a democratic country. It belongs more to middle east than to the EU. 🤣
That's a loaded statement.
All members of 💩FD are russian spies. The rumours were out for years and now we get acknowledgement. 👍
AfD, of course. Just a bunch of puppets and useful idiots.
They could learn a bit from the Austrian far-right. They simply weren’t investigated due to a technicality, and then successfully sued a bunch of people who claimed that they had received money from Russia, because those people couldn’t prove anything without the investigation.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a letter obtained by POLITICO, leaders of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party pile pressure on a lawmaker to come clean regarding Czech media reports that he accepted €25,000 from a pro-Russian network that's trying to influence European public opinion ahead of the June EU election.
The letter urges the lawmaker, Petr Bystron, who is the AfD's foreign policy spokesman in the German Bundestag, to send a written statement to party leadership by 2 p.m. on Thursday detailing any involvement in the scheme.
“Europe is very vulnerable to Russian influence so we need to work harder on our resilience,” Jan Lipavský, the Czech foreign affairs minister, told reporters in Brussels on Wednesday.
Peter Stano, spokesperson for the European External Action Service, which drafts EU-wide sanctions at member countries' requests, said such processes are "confidential and not for us to comment or pre-empt publicly."
French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourné on Tuesday said France will push for European sanctions on those peddling disinformation to counter a growing Russian online threat to elections.
"Russia resorts ... to lies and manipulation of our public opinions, in particular by financing interference, promoting false media, and accusing Ukraine," Sejourné said at a press conference in Paris Tuesday.
