These headlines are becoming crazier at an exponential rate. I thought covid had bad ones.
Trump takes orders from Putin, therefore Russians aren’t safe in the US unless they support Putin.
And any people that left Russia, most likely did so to escape him.
It’s crazy this article mentions these Russian refugees as potential spies when it tends to be Americans being paid by Russia that do the most damage. I’m not even thinking of Trump!
your thinking of Krasnov. They both look and act the same. Coincidence?
I was thinking of Robert Hanssen. Most of the spies just end up being double agents.
Who do you think is contacting the Americans?
People on the Internet, it’s ridiculously easy to do it compared to spy movie meetings in person, leaving a newspaper on certain park benches with certain letters highlighted or things like that.
They just talk in person. No one is really listening.
Why? End to end encryption is a real thing, look at all the planning for 9/11 that was done on AOL chat rooms or instant messenger using burner accounts, way back in the day. Nowadays there are so many ways to be anonymous online, e2e encryption apps, vpns, the mass of forums and ways to temporarily setup email, it’s insanity to think the primary way a foreign nation would spy is to go through the trouble of having individuals apply for refuge or asylum status just to try and recruit American officials to spy
I honestly don’t know shit about this stuff. However, I’m guessing they do both. Online they flood people hoping someone will bite. But, I’m guessing it’s with it to send people, as they are probably a thousand times more successful. Plus they can target a specific person that might be “immune” to online methods. This is pure speculation, as I’ve never studied it or looked into it. I could be completely off base.
That’s wild
The whole xenophobic operation in the states ends up being a means by which Putin can retaliate against his political enemies that fled Russia for the United States
Welcome to Putin’s second home.
