    This is because they are doing influence ops out of that base, right?

      Or it’s an exit node for some internal network/VPN.

      Which would be stupid opsec, but then again…

        What I have learned is that if you have a simple explaination, but it’s really really stupid, that’s still probably what happened. Because people are stupid.

        Not stupid as you think if its being used as a tunnel for overseas stations to have a clear route to send encrypted traffic.

          Fair enough, and if all the outgoing traffic to Reddit is innocuous, then there’s nothing to hide. Not great if it is some kind of hub of an operation to influence Reddit.

      No, it’s because that’s where they counter the <insert enemy of the state department>'s propaganda with truth and facts.

      Same reason Reddit’s director of policy comes from The Council on Foreign Relations and worked for Madelin Albright. They certainly wouldn’t be using Reddit to influence the perceptions of Americans, the primary users of Reddit.

      Just standard Pooty-poot simping MAGA Qult materials. Nothing of note really.

      Its also a training base so you goy that going, but that’s definitely not enough to compare to the ops dept.

      Likely not, back then it was probably just bored air force nerds stuck in Florida.
