Seriously? More Bullshit.
Oh joy. Another goddamn election getting screwed with by the Russians. This time it’s Moldova, a country most people couldn’t find on a map if their lives depended on it. Apparently, some pro-Russian outfits are slinging disinformation like it’s going out of style – fake news articles, dodgy websites, and social media garbage designed to make everyone distrust everything. They’re pushing narratives about the current government being incompetent, corrupt (like *that’s* new), and generally unfit to rule. Surprise, surprise.
The article says they’re using a network of sites – some newly created, others pretending to be legit news sources. They’re also hitting up Telegram with this crap. It’s the same playbook they *always* use. It’s not exactly rocket science; it’s just relentless, low-effort propaganda aimed at sowing chaos and influencing voters. And guess who’s being blamed? You got it – Russia. Though they’ll deny it until the cows come home, naturally.
Moldova’s security services are trying to deal with it, blocking sites and warning people, but honestly? Good luck. Once this stuff gets out there, it spreads faster than a virus on an unpatched system. The EU is offering help (because *someone* has to clean up after these assholes), but let’s be real – it’s damage control at best.
Basically, it’s another reminder that elections are fragile things and everyone with a keyboard and an agenda is trying to break them. And Russia? They’re leading the charge, as usual. Fucking fantastic.

I once had to deal with a user who insisted that everything he read on Facebook was 100% true. He’d built his entire worldview around memes and conspiracy theories. Trying to explain the concept of “source verification” was like banging my head against a brick wall. Honestly, dealing with him made me want to personally dismantle the internet. This Moldova thing? Just scaled-up version of that idiot. And it’s infuriating.
