What an unbelievably stupid thing to do.
They get that viruses and new variants don’t respect geopolitical borders right?
It’s known as “collateral damage” or more frequently “acceptable casualties”.
It just feels like a toddlers tantrum…
You took my toy so I’m going to head-but the toy.
Ow my head hurts!
These stupid motherfuckers.
It’s immoral, it’s anti human, so that’s problem number one. And what’s worse, they did such a shit job at it that the social media companies identified the accounts quickly, so surely our adversaries could do the same.
And there was this bit in the article: “The senior Defense Department official said that those complaints led to an internal review in late 2021, which uncovered the anti-vaccine operation. The probe also turned up other social and political messaging that was “many, many leagues away” from any acceptable military objective. The official would not elaborate.”
So I expect we’ll see reports of other shithead operations before long.
