Summary
Democratic senators have raised concerns over Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence, citing her past meetings with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and her embrace of Russian talking points.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Gabbard shared a video echoing a false Kremlin claim that the U.S. was funding biological weapons labs in Ukraine.
A former Democratic congresswoman and critic of U.S. foreign policy, Gabbard recently joined the Republican Party and would now oversee 18 intelligence agencies and prepare the President’s Daily Brief.
Jesus fucking Christ. Putin must be ecstatic.
He’s been waiting for this for 4 years
For only 4-years? This has been the dream of the Kremlin since the Cold War. Putin has been carrying this forward since the collapse of the Soviet Union. It’s only since the collapse that information has seen success and become their primary focus, and not a military arms-race. It’s sad so many in the US are so easily duped.
