With initial efforts aimed at swinging upcoming German elections and discrediting Ukraine, Russia's "Doppelganger" influence operations have expanded to the BlueSky social media platform.

NATO is an aggressor org
Did they have that intention when they disarmed their nuclear weapon in exchange for Russia promising to respect their sovereignty? What about when Russia invaded them in 2014?
