How Russian Talking Points Spread

Russian talking points are being laundered through unwitting repeaters in the west according to newly declassified US intelligence. In this video I provide a number of examples so you can see how talking points spread. Russia hopes for it to spread organically. They are successful when you watch YouTube channels that carry their talking points and then share those talking points with others. The Russians are very good at this type of information warfare.

Tucker Karlson is OK with torture, rape and murder. Shows his real character.

I really miss Senator McCain. Slava Ukraine!

[minximayhem]

Thank you for pointing that out. Ronald Reagan would be through the roof
if he saw today's Republican party. If you had told me in high school that
Republicans would be pro Russia I would have died laughing.
Today I'm like WTF. Lets not forget Trump likes his girls Putinized as well.

[barbarahernandez]

Thank you! I am also a Reagan Republican and support Ukraine 100%. I'm horrified by what's happening to our party. :(

[tertiusduplessis]

They only way for US to counter this onslaught, is to listen and learn from Ukrainians. It will just escalate.

[nurabusnaq]

Not a fan of any of the Republicans but Pence, Hailey and even Chris Christie are pretty solid for Ukraine.

I worry much more how Russian propaganda plays into anti American sentiments in India, the Muslim world, and parts of Africa and South America. Standing up to America and NATO is an easy sale in some of those places.

[cristiandarie]

Excellent episode, thanks. Keep up the good work.

[StevenHaze]

My 2 cents: Germany invaded Poland and then most of Europe = bad. Russia invaded Chechnya, Georgia and Ukraine = bad. It really is that simple!

[Lokroi]

Thank you, professor, for caring about Ukraine, and explaining so well and clearly !

[vitorsatay]

Thank you for your work Sir, greetings from Odessa.

[TraderJoe]

Thank you for calling these American Useful Idiots out. Please continue the good work.

[sherrillwhately]

Have to do what’s right regardless of the political consequences. No one should be above the law. No one should be allowed to get away with using propaganda in order to dupe some voters and disenfranchise others.

One of the best so far on this channel imo

[joaocoelho]

its a shame professor Gerdes isnt more known?!
a big Thank you and cheers from Europe!
Thank you for defending true western values, our democracy and obviously by inertia defending Ukraine!

Why do these “conservatives” admire Russia? Russia is a corrupt Mafia state, that level of corruption would make any country deeply dysfunctional. And just murdering, poising, etc political dissidents - that is something to be admired? Reliably ranked at the absolute low end of freedom indexes in regards to press freedom or freedom of expression. Russia has a high divorce rate, third highest in the world most years. HIV infection is a considerable problem, has been for years. Alcoholism ditto. Domestic violence is basically legal and a huge issue. And Russian people who actually want to talk about some of these core societal issues, would like to improve life for all Russians… well they can’t. Don’t “conservatives” usually care about those type of issues?!?

[sbanim]

they have a word for it: Zerzetzung.
It's a hybrid form of warfare that roughly translates as: decomposition from within. They learnt it from the Stasi and have been at it for decades.

[japetbu]

If the three most acclaimed presidential candidates of your party are repeating "alternative facts", time to think again?

[Aussie_T]

Really interesting professor thank you. Slava Ukraini 💪🔱🇺🇦
