DISINFO: Report that accuses Russia of interfering in the US 2020 election is laughable
SUMMARY
The core of the strategic intelligence thinking of the US, which makes the blunder even bigger, concluded that Russia was behind certain interference in the US elections in 2020. The technicians of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence based their work on rumours, suppositions, corridor talks, which make us think that those suppositions are the truth. The key word is “probably”, so it is not for sure. This is the parallel reality, a fantasy world where the Biden Administration lives. The mentioned ODNI report talks again of “highly likely” and that “perhaps there has been an interference in the election”. At the end of the day, this is about establishing a parallel reality that even they don’t believe, it is a smokescreen totally unbelievable, using terms like “maybe”, “it is possible”. The report is laughable and could have been written by schoolboys.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative denying any Russian responsibility in interfering in the elections of other countries, despite massive evidence on the contrary. Russian interference in the US 2020 election has been established beyond doubt not only by US intelligence but also by law enforcement officials, journalists and researchers. Multiple attempts to influence the public discourse to favour one candidate over the other were uncovered throughout 2019 and 2020, though their ultimate success is disputed.
See other examples of disinformation narratives about this subject, such as allegations that neither the US Intelligence Committee report nor the Mueller report found any evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 US elections, that there is no proof that Russia tried to influence the Brexit referendum or about the role played by RT and Sputnik in these and other processes, that “absurd” accusations against Russia are an attempt to demonise it, or that the US and UK are indeed the ones who try to interfere in Europe.
This disinformation message appeared in the same TV programme as the claims that “The US will invent anything to blame Russia and attract its allies against a common enemy”.
