Maybe now dumb Indians across the political spectrum will stop deepthroating Putin and Russia.

I will say even the Israelis have benefited from the anti-Indian racism in the last 3 years because it has helped take away some of the heat on them. So stop sucking up to Israel and deepthroating Netanyahu as well.

Russia has been using bot farms in North America and the EU to sow divisions and discord ever since 2014, when it annexed Crimea, but really stepped it up since 2022, when it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In the EU, they courted, supported, and funded Eurosceptic political candidates and peddled massive anti-immigration sentiment (mainly targeted at North Africans and Arabs primarily in the 2014 to 2019 period with the civil war in Syria and ISIS, which caused a big wave of immigrants and refugees from those communities). From 2020 onwards, they shifted focus to North America and Oceania and targeted Indians because we were the biggest incoming immigrant groups in countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Russia Today was one of the earliest peddlers of anti-Indian racism on Twitter and other social media platforms.

Yea RT India’s sole job seems to be to highlight anything an American says about India. I mean they were dirty af always, but this level of psyop getting exposed is nuts.

American Politics subs are down in activity as well.

Russian interference helped Trump get elected in 2016 and for Brexit to happen.
