‘I escaped one gulag only to end up in another’: Russian asylum seekers face Ice detention in the US

And any people that left Russia, most likely did so to escape him.

I honestly don't know shit about this stuff. However, I'm guessing they do both. Online they flood people hoping someone will bite. But, I'm guessing it's with it to send people, as they are probably a thousand times more successful. Plus they can target a specific person that might be "immune" to online methods. This is pure speculation, as I've never studied it or looked into it. I could be completely off base.

Why? End to end encryption is a real thing, look at all the planning for 9/11 that was done on AOL chat rooms or instant messenger using burner accounts, way back in the day. Nowadays there are so many ways to be anonymous online, e2e encryption apps, vpns, the mass of forums and ways to temporarily setup email, it's insanity to think the primary way a foreign nation would spy is to go through the trouble of having individuals apply for refuge or asylum status just to try and recruit American officials to spy

They just talk in person. No one is really listening.

People on the Internet, it's ridiculously easy to do it compared to spy movie meetings in person, leaving a newspaper on certain park benches with certain letters highlighted or things like that.

I was thinking of Robert Hanssen. Most of the spies just end up being double agents.

your thinking of Krasnov. They both look and act the same. Coincidence?

Who do you think is contacting the Americans?

That's wild

The whole xenophobic operation in the states ends up being a means by which Putin can retaliate against his political enemies that fled Russia for the United States

It's crazy this article mentions these Russian refugees as potential spies when it tends to be Americans being paid by Russia that do the most damage. I'm not even thinking of Trump!

Welcome to Putin’s second home.

Bro

I feel you

I left PRC only end end up in a PRC v2.

(Also, your former president putin is also the president of this country 👀, Russian refugees please go to EU, the US is a Russian puppet-state right now)

These headlines are becoming crazier at an exponential rate. I thought covid had bad ones.
