Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

I highly doubt most of the protestors have anything to do with being funded by outside groups, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the dissent has been sponsored by foreign propaganda/influence efforts. Russia definitely wants Trump to be elected over Biden, and also will do anything they can to cause division here.
All you have to do, to see foreign influence is look at the counter-protesters.
Or both--Russia doesn't have to be on one side or the other of this issue, they have a vested interest in there being a fight so they're happily going to play both sides
I wasn’t talking about russia
Yes but of course they're capitalizing on this by stirring up both sides.
And Israel is stirring up their side. They’re just as bad as Russia
That conflict is very messy and I don't agree with Israel's overall actions, but as bad as Russia is a pretty high bar. Russia stirs up shit where it'll weaken anyone in the West. Israel definitely isn't the good guy in their conflict (don't think anyone but civilians are good there but that's another thing) but as bad as Russia? I don't think that. Though I'm regularly wrong so just my opinion.
and how many politicians have been bought off by Russia?
take a look at everyone whose received money for being pro-israel.
Further, Israel has a massive influence campaign of their own. The only real difference is most people have been convinced that Israel is “good” and we have an “Obligation” and stuff.
Apparently many European representatives (if the headlines are correct) and from the actions in the US the entire GOP party. But go ahead and shill for Russia. I also never said Israel is good, I was just saying Russia was seeing shit happen and stirred the fuck out of it.
yes. yes. I'm shilling for russia.
the entire premise is that they're as bad as... which implies I believe Russia is in fact bad. I'm an awesome shill!
The only foreign propaganda coming out of these protests is from Israel
Seems pretty unlikely they'd be the only country involved.
