Incorrect.
Quote:The official briefed reporters by phone on a review by the U.S. intelligence community of Russia's efforts to influence other countries' politics. It found Russia has transferred more than $300 million to foreign political parties, officials and politicians in more than two dozen countries since 2014, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The official said the efforts, including funding for think tanks to support far-right nationalist political parties, were "an attempt to manipulate democracies from the inside."

incorrect.
if you read your highlighted bit it says INCLUDING
the russian agency also sent money to set up social media groups promoting black lives matter . in fact most of the facebook groups supporting BLM were started by russia.
they merely want to promote the extremes on the left and the right to polarise the society
operatives supported by the Russian government created a Facebook group impersonating a California-based Muslim organization, called United Muslims of America, to sow anti-US sentiment among American Muslims by targeting politicians across the spectrum.
On Wednesday evening, CNN followed up with a separate report with details about a Facebook ad bought by Russians during last year's election that was centered on the Black Lives Matter movement and targeted specifically the cities of Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri.
The ad was bought by the Internet Research Agency, a Russian troll factory based in St. Petersburg.
Ferguson and Baltimore in 2014 and 2015 were the sites of killings by the police of young, unarmed black men that sparked nationwide protests against the police and elevated the Black Lives Matter movement's profile.
"This is consistent with the overall goal of creating discord inside the body politic here in the United States, and really across the West," former CIA officer Steve Hall told CNN. "It shows the level of sophistication of their targeting. They are able to sow discord in a very granular nature, target certain communities and link them up with certain issues."
Incorrect. US intelligence says Vlad actively helped Trump in 2016.
Quote:Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a covert operation designed to undermine American democracy, according to the declassified version of a long-awaited U.S. intelligence report released Friday. The report also says Russia sought to ‘denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency.’
In "Key Judgments," the report says, "We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election. Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump."
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/report-putin-russia-tried-help-trump-discre...US intelligence says Vlad tried to do it again in 2020.
Quote:Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely to have authorised attempts to influence last year's US election in favour of former President Donald Trump, intelligence officials say.
Moscow spread "misleading or unsubstantiated allegations" about the eventual winner, Joe Biden, according to a US government report.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56423536And Vlad owned up to it himself.
Quote:Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday he wanted President Donald Trump to win the 2016 election because he believed Trump’s policies would be more friendly to the Kremlin.
“Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.-Russia relationship back to normal,” Putin said, standing alongside Trump at a joint news conference.
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/07/16/putin-trump-win-election-2016-722486By "normal", Vlad means a prez who lets him get away with money laundering, email hacking, foreign election interference and invading sovereign countries. Dear Leader has actively supported all of these things. He calls the last one genius.
So I'm curious. Why do you continue to defend it?
That's a question.
