Marge Greene posted an article today on Twitter from a Russian state propaganda organization that has been sanctioned for deliberately spreading disinformation to interfere with US elections.

Greene cited the article as “proof” that Ukraine is allegedly the most corrupt country in the world in an effort to persuade fellow Republicans to vote against aid to Ukraine. Which is exactly what Putin hoped to accomplish with the article. This article repeats the lies that Zelensky and his close associates have been purchasing yachts and mansions around the world with US aid money.

The Russian ‘Strategic Culture Foundation’ was the source of the article posted by Greene. It is based in Moscow. Their specific purpose is to spread conspiracy theories to western countries. In 2021, the US government sanctioned SCF for attempting to interfere in the 2020 elections. The State Department stated that it “is directed by Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service.”

      Neither party does. Israel and Ukraine are the only thing that gets funding. Oh and don’t forget the bipartisian praise of the Henry Kissinger.
