Spanish ministers accuse Russia of sparking and enabling the Catalonian crisis with massive fake news attacks, and accuse it of trying to divide Europe and create dissent.

[hector13]

Julian Assange is also mixed in with the accusations.

[smjjames]

Lolwut, Julian Assanage got himself mixed in with the fake news accusations in Catalonia?

Also, way for Madrid to try and make it look like Catalonias grievances aren't real without proof that Russia is doing it. I wouldn't be surprised if Russia was doing some behind the scenes stuff, but at least they should prove that Russia is behind it. Like for example the Russian troll farms (now though, I've got a DF troll farm to sell you, lol) and the Facebook and Google ads that are linked to those same trolls.

Considering the bullshit the central goverment media spreads it takes some cojones for them to talk about "Russian fake news"

My thoughts?  They're trying some foreign-oriented damage control, and since Russian fake news are a thing, well, why not blame them for the situation in Catalonia?

[Egan_BW]

Sounds like them trying to influence american opinion?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Doubt it. Russian disinfo strategies and fake Russian disinfo strategies are older than the shit that went down with Trump. If anything, they're trying to influence EU bodies and Spanish public opinion.

[Egan_BW]

B-but I thought we were the center of the world and everyone cared about what we think! D:

[MetalSlimeHunt]

We are the center of the world and everybody cares way too much about what we think while also denying it, but in this instance American public opinion isn't gonna do much and Trump is either a Russian shill or he isn't. I'm sure Putin will telefax him the playbook re: Catalonian puppet state.

Can we got back to setting up to kill T72's at the Fulda Gap now?

[Culise]

Can we got back to setting up to kill T72's at the Fulda Gap now?

I'd say we've pushed the NATO border far enough east that we're back to Miracles on the Vistula, but I'm an optimist that way.

[Helgoland]

Can we got back to setting up to kill T72's at the Fulda Gap now?

Why so pessimistic? I always wanted to visit the banks of the Volga.

We did spot all those nice potential fire positions when we were in St Petersburg...

[Strife26]

Alright, killing T72's in nonspecific locations.

Alright, killing T72's in nonspecific locations.

It's nice to see than in this era of bitter partisanship, some people can still reach good compromises.
