UKRAINE is INTERFERING in US elections by ILLEGALLY aiding democrats by ATTACKING data centers owned by GOP allies ahead of the november election.

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/data-centers/russian-disinformation-bot-traffic-nearly-eliminated-overnight-after-ukraine-drone-strikes-cripple-multiple-of-russias-google-data-centers-ukraine-intensifies-bombing-of-yandex-data-centers-in-response-to-moscows-strikes-on-kyiv-data-centers

Russian bot traffic has dropped dramatically in the past few days after Ukraine knocked out Yandex’s biggest data centers, with a third attack happening last night. Cloudflare reports that bot traffic from the Yandex network has dropped to just 0.4% of the maximum number of HTTP requests recorded in the past two weeks. It initially dropped to around 57% on Oct. 8, which happened when Ukraine hit a Yandex data center housing two supercomputers in Sasovo, Russia, located around 195 miles to the southeast of the Kremlin. A second, bigger Yandex campus in Kaluga, about 220 miles to the west of Sasovo, was knocked offline yesterday.

These attacks are apparently Ukraine’s response to Moscow’s strikes on its own data centers, some of which resulted in the outage of some of the most popular piracy websites.

Yandex is Russia’s equivalent to Google, and its Yandex Cloud service status reports that at least 84 services are currently offline. Global internet monitoring firm NetBlocks said that Yandex’s network traffic has dropped to just 30% for Yandex Cloud and 63% for Yandex LLC, most likely resulting in slower internet services or complete disruption for the average Russian. Unfortunately, the ordinary Russian wouldn’t be able to use high-speed satellite internet as a backup, as Starlink does not work in Russia, while the competing Rassvet constellation has had a good number of its existing satellites fall back to the surface after launch.
>>
These incidents are a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which escalated dramatically in 2022 after Russia’s failed attempt to capture Kyiv. However, many observers say that the war actually started in 2014 when Russian forces seized Crimea and occupied parts of eastern Ukraine after the fall of the pro-Russian government that year.

The hostilities, which have dragged on for years, saw the introduction of new technologies and strategies, specifically in drone warfare. It began with the wide deployment of commercially available drones on the front lines, typically for reconnaissance, dropping explosives, and kamikaze-style attacks. However, it has since evolved into long-range warfare, with specially built drones able to reach distances of over 1,500 miles and destroy Tu-95 strategic bombers situated well behind the front lines.

The drone strikes on data centers are relatively new developments. While data centers on bases are often considered valid targets, Russia’s justification for the attacks on civilian data centers was that Ukrainian military intelligence used them. This isn’t the first time that civilian data centers have also been hit by drones and missiles. AWS sites in Bahrain and the UAE have been hit multiple times since Washington started its bombing campaign against Iran, with the company telling its clients to move their data to sites outside the region, as it doesn’t have a recovery timeline.

Sad to see Yandex's reverse search go, I guess. That was the one thing Russia's ever built that worked better than its western equivalent.

He didn't cite a source and he was appointed by Obama so, you know, the trust just isn't there.

Are you certain this is true? Let me know if you find a real source.

Interesting question on his part given trump is now funding the Iranians in a war he started given he's funneling money to Putin, who's giving weapons to the Iranians. To kill US troops. Meanwhille trump can't even keep track of how many soldiers he's gotten killed since it's 21, but he claimed it was only 18.
Is he pulling another russian trick of pretending soldiers didn't die in the line of duty in order to deny their surviving families benefits? I'ts quiet possible.

It looks like Russia took 20% of ukraine in the first 10 seconds and has held onto a fifth of Ukraine throughout the rest of the video.
Lemme know when Ukraine starts winning in this video I wasn't able to see it myself

that's a good shill. now stop pretending to be american for tonight okay

You keep asking if Russia is winning, but never seem to explain how Ukraine is winning, or when they started winning

Truly winning.

Also the fact we have an actual vatnik who's not a bot shows how much /pol/ fears /news/. That alone is a win for the good guys.

Everybody forget about how for the past few months I constantly compare the war in Iraq to 'Biden's war in Ukraine' in impressively retarded displays of whataboutism. I've been for Ukraine the whole time! Fuck those Russian bots for calling in bomb threats to help get my guy elected.
>Hey, come to think of it, where did all my online friends go, and why is this board heavily slanted to lefties and centrists making fun of the few retards too stupid to jump ship with the rest of the rats?
>>
>>1542749
Fyi these retards are trying mislead you. When they say "bot" they want you to think "Internet chat-bots who shill for Russia". In reality, Yandex is a search engine like Google. It uses webcrawlers to find and catalogue websites for the search engine. So when their servers get knocked out, their bots can't search the internet.

It's some of the most dishonest reporting I have seen in a long time. And what's worse is there is no need for it, the Ukranian strikes knocked out all of Russias AI research labs, that's a massive blow and by itself is a huge story.
>>
>>1542856
Then he's retarded.

When have Democrats ever been on the right side of history?
Play the odds.

Yes, all those election results are fake. No way people could be displeased with the status quo.
>>

>No way public opinion can be manipulated for false information boosted by russian bots
Way to ignore the last decade. Or even more recently the smear job the right wing media tried to pull on James Talarico that fell apart because the russians weren't boosting them.
>>
>>1542886
>Way to ignore the last decade
Yeah man, no way people would be upset with mass migration, increased costs of living, higher taxes and decreased economic prospects. It's the Russian bots!

So Ukraine is winning because this war didn't take 3 days? I don't think Putin or anyone implied it would take 3 days.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmaMpy44e64
I was asking when Ukraine started winning, because it looks like in the first 10 seconds of this video Russia took 20% of Ukraine, and has held onto it for the last 5 years. If you fast forward t o the very end Russia still has 20% of Ukraine. So I am asking when Ukraine started winning because it looks like they lost a fifth of their country in the first couple months of the war and have never gotten it back

This, arguably retarded, theory doesn't hold any water.
Russia has nothing to gain by botting in favor of dRumpf.
Russia benefits when China and Iran benefit. And Democrats are likely in China's pocket who are allied with Russia.
I'm going to play the odds here and say that leftism is a botted ideology. How else can you explain the cult like adherence to it?
>>
>>1543039
>Butt muh Russian diesel!!!
Complain about the problem, then complain about the only solution?
Seems to encapsulate the past decade of liggeralsim.
>>
>>1543039
This, arguably retarded poster, (bad grammar btw), doesn't hold any water. Russia has a lot to gain by botting in favor of trump, like the 3 million tons of diesel he just bought from them, or the pressure he's put on Zelenski to give up territory to end the war.
Iran and China benefit when Russia benefits, so buying that diesel was funding regimes that kill our troops.
Every miga faggot accusation is a confession.
>>1543040
The bots haven't even been able to recognize who is on their side anymore, Ukraine really fucked them up.
Maybe he shouldn't have started the war then. Maybe that's the solution, instead of staying in the war, refusing to negotiate based on ego, and funding the enemy.
>>
>>1543047
>(bad grammar btw)
There are no issues with grammar, fuckwit. Refer to your company provided MS Word and ensure you're set to English (US) in the settings.

>Russia has nothing to gain but botting in favor of their puppet trump who just betrayed the west and Ukraine to them.

>>1543059
No you aren't. When did Russia attack Ukraine.
Who was president. Why did Pootin wait?
>>
>>1543068
Bush was President when Russia invaded Georgia in 2007.
Obama was President when Russia invaded Crimea in 2014.
Biden was President when Russia invaded Eastern Ukraine in 2022
>>
>>1543057
Correct grammar was "This arguably retarded theory doesn't hold any water."
You wrote "This, arguably retarded, theory doesn't hold any water."
Your grammar is fucked, faggot, it sounds like a fucking William Shatner impression.
>MS Word
Lol, is that what you use? Word processors don't catch everything, dipshit. But please, please continue to argue about this and expose yourself as a dumb esl cunt to every fluent speaker on the board.

>Reform UK have all fallen off a cliff
Refrom UK came 4th behind the Conservative candidate in a by-election last week: and the only potential threat to Labour was by the candidate fielded by the Green Party. That's how bad things are for Farage & co, and not just due to their corruption investigation that's still ongoing that Trump's pal Nigel only delayed by calling that by-election in which his only potential threat was Count Binface.
>Refrom UK
That's not a typo, or the result of being esl like the way /news/' resident shill constantly humiliates itself.
https://www.pressreader.com/uk/metro-uk/20261008/281621017285056
'Britain needs... Refrom? Spelling gaffe in crucial by-election letter'
Because when that party's own candidate is esl, that alone proves that Farage & co are inferior.

Not:

You made the same fucking mistake after I JUST pointed it out to you, you fucking mongoloid retard.
Apparently we need to go over it again so we can get it thru your stupid fucking skull.
