"Russian interference" is not an "existential threat to democracy." But it has become the go-to slur for anything and anyone who disagrees. The second Kalniete Report on "foreign interference" - passed last Thursday - is a sign of a deeply unhealthy political culture in Europe.

Who the heck puts these people in office. Is there and official Russia Today Party in Ireland or something?

Russian Interference is another distraction from the facts… democracy is steadily eroding in the West, in favor of kleptocracy & oligarchy… And Corporatism Centrism Libertarianism Neoliberalism Trickle-down US Empire Are all failures.

Why don't you move to Russia?

"Russian interference" is not an "existential threat to democracy." Oh really? Maybe you'd like to ask democratic countries who are being attacked because they didn't elect a Putin puppet...

Honey Badger 🇬🇧🌻🇺🇦3 years ago

Western democracy is an existential threat to Putin's despotism. It's very simple, Clare.

Strange how so few never get concerned about American interference since it became a global power.

#WATCH | Washington DC: When asked about US political leaders making comments about democracy in India, EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "...One there is the reality and second is the handling of reality. The reality is the world is very globalised and as a result, politics does not necessarily stay within the national boundaries of the country. The United States makes a special effort to ensure it doesn't. That is a part of how the US has conducted its foreign policy over the years...Some players like to shape not only the politics of their own country but try and do it globally...You write up reports about people and you spotlight countries...Democracies must be mutually respected, it cannot be that one democracy has a right to comment on another and that's a part of promoting democracy globally but when others do that then it becomes foreign interference. Foreign interference is foreign interference, irrespective of who does it and where it is done. It is a testy area and my personal view is you have every right to comment but I have every right to comment on your comment, so don't feel bad when I do" (Source: Carnegie Endowment)

HE (RUBIO) DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, AND THIS IS TRUE OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN FOREIGN POLICY ESTABLISHMENT IN THIS COUNTRY, THAT FOR RUSSIA, THIS IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT. THE POSSIBILITY OF UKRAINE BECOMING A MEMBER OF NATO IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE TO THE RUSSIANS. IT IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT, AND THEY ARE NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL UKRAINE AND THE WEST ARE DEFEATED AND THEY BOTH ACCEPT THE FACT THAT UKRAINE HAS TO BE A NEUTRAL STATE, NUMBER ONE, AND IT HAS TO BE DISARMED TO THE POINT OFFENSIVE THREAT TO RUSSIA. - John Mearsheimer

Beijing’s foreign interference (FI) is a serious, national threat. CSIS has said an effective way to counter FI is through sunlight & transparency. This government’s response has been anything but transparent. Instead, it’s burying the truth in process. Why? #cdnpoli

Canadian Security Intelligence Service released a scathing report on foreign interference in Canada with ringing the alarm on China who is all but running free in Canada and not even a single MSM article focusing on it. The propaganda and censorship level in Canada is something.

FOREIGN INTERFERENCE… 🤌🏼 🟥 I don't know which Conservative MPs need to hear this. 🙂👍🏼 But… Taking a photo with someone who happens to be from China, at an event with lots of other people posing for photo ops with you, is NOT “foreign interference” . ✅🔳 Foreign interference is when the intelligence agencies of your 4 close allies (USA, UK, New Zealand and Australia) publish a report stating that your conservative campaign is benefitting from Russian-sponsored disinformation through influencers, who your LEADER is photographed with regularly. 📸 ✅🔳 Foreign interference is when the Indian government interferes to DISRUPT the campaigns of your rivals in a Conservative leadership race. 🛠️ ✅🔳 Foreign interference is when foreign operatives of the Indian government tell a National Campaign Chair, Michelle Rempel-Garner, to abandon your rival Patrick Brown’s Campaign. And she does. 👀 ✅🔳 Foreign interference is when your Conservative leader inexplicably defends the assassination of Canadian citizens on Canadian soil. Which suggests that your leader may be under the influence of a foreign nation … but then that leader evades scrutiny of his connections and finances by Canada’s Security Services by refusing to apply for the routine Top Security Clearance. Which makes him all the MORE suspicious. 👀 ✅🔳 Foreign interference is when your leader is endorsed by all of Trump’s closest allies 🇺🇸. A President who wants to destroy our economy and take over our Nation... And Trump’s closest ally owns X and MANIPULATES algorithms daily in your favour, to manipulate Canadians. 👥🇨🇦 That is the epitome of foreign interference ✅🔳 Foreign interference is when CSIS, a few days ago, informed Canadians that the Government of India organized support for your Conservative Leader campaign, which helped you to become leader. All of the above ⬆️ is only a SMALL part of why Poilievre cannot be Prime Minister of Canada. 🙅🏻‍♂️ 🟥 PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY TO VETERANS AFFAIRS & ASSOCIATE MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENCE - RANDEEP SARAI:

On 28 September, in parliamentary elections, Moldovans made a clear choice: Europe. Despite massive Russian interference, our people stood firm. This was not a normal election — it was a test of democracy under attack. And our citizens passed it.

Are you planning to do anything about it Keir Starmer or are you going to join the former Conservative Prime Ministers and ignore the influence of Russia in our democracy?

There’s a federal petition right now E7340, and every Canadian should be paying attention and signing. This isn’t partisan. This is about foreign interference. It calls to: • Refer Alberta’s Justice Statutes Amendment Act to the Supreme Court • Investigate reported meetings between the Alberta Prosperity Project and U.S. officials And let’s be honest we’ve already seen unofficial trips to Washington. Why are Canadian political actors meeting U.S. officials while pushing Alberta separation? That’s deeply concerning. We’ve spent years warning about foreign interference in elections, what about interference in breaking up Canada itself? Foreign influence in our sovereignty is a red line. Google: Petition E7340 sign it. If you care about transparency and protecting Canada sign it. Because if foreign interests are shaping our future, that’s not politics. That’s a national threat.

The indictments are nothing but election interference. We CANNOT let our institutions become political weapons. If they'll do it to Trump, they'll do it to anyone. America is a country based on freedom, liberty, free speech & free thought. This is a disgusting abuse of power.

FP Founder Bari Weiss: “A nuclear Iran is not just an existential threat to Israel; it is an existential threat to America. This is a regime that has not just been declaring ‘Death to Israel.’ It is a regime that has been declaring ‘Death to America.’” “One of the key lessons that Israel and perhaps the world has learned since the massacre of October 7 is to take these enemies, not just figuratively, not just seriously, but literally. When they say they want a second genocide, they want a nuclear holocaust, they mean it.” America's Newsroom
