Russia is trying to destabilise Germany

[Melech 9,900]

"Russia is trying to destabilise German society with propaganda and cyber attacks ahead of the country's general election, according to Germany's domestic intelligence agency.

Thursday's warning was the bluntest public claim yet from Germany's BfV agency about Moscow's alleged campaign of disinformation and hacking targeting Europe's biggest economy.

"There is growing evidence of attempts to influence the federal election next year," said Hans-Georg Maassen, head of the BfV, citing "increasingly aggressive cyber espionage" against political entities in Germany.

He expressed particular concern that voters' increasing use of social media could make them more vulnerable to disinformation.

BfV said it had seen a wide variety of Russian propaganda tools and "enormous use of financial resources" to carry out "disinformation" campaigns aimed at the Russian-speaking community in Germany, political movements, parties and other decision makers.

The goal of the effort was to spread uncertainty in society; "to weaken or destabilise the Federal Republic of Germany"; to strengthen extremist groups and parties; to complicate the work of the federal government; and to influence political dialogue.

"We are worried that echo chambers are being created there," Maassen said before adding that "automated opinion-forming" with bots could be used to spread fake news.

Media outlets controlled by the Russian government and pro-Russian blogs in Germany regularly report on crimes committed by asylum seekers in the country, linking the incidents to Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to allow hundreds of thousands of refugees into the country last year."

It might not be if they weren't satisfied with the stans, siberia, eastern europe, yakutia, and the caucasus back in the 70s.

They can sashay away. Russia's in its Glory/Lotus/G.U.Y./you-name-it era. They think they're powerful and doing great but in fact they're punching wayyy above their weight. They'll be invaded by China within the next hundred years anyways.

Maybe they will have their Ray of Light era thanks to Trump 

But I agree. They act like they are the most poweful country in the world, while their economy is weak and relies almost completely on oil and gas, and their population is declinig. And then they try to influence the elections in probably the two most powerful western nations 

Russia should be happy that the EU and the US don't give them the North Korea/Iran treatment
