In the U.S., "Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed Tuesday a bomb threat was made against a polling place, but he said it was of Russian origin and not credible."

“They’re up to mischief it seems,” he added, about the Russians. “They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election.”

"Stop flogging this dead horse." 🤣 🤣 🤣

"The West is cutting off the branch it is sitting on." – #Lavrov "foreshadowed" the collapse of the dollar due to sanctions against #Russia.

"The dollar as the world's reserve currency has signed a verdict," he said during a speech at the Creating the Future science fiction symposium (a proper event to discuss issues like this).

According to #Lavrov, the dollar's collapse will be brought about by "the policy of sanctions that the West is applying, including against #Russia."

"The dollar, which for decades was advertised to us explicitly as the common property of all mankind, has been turned into a weapon of suppression and punishment of geopolitical competitors and simply the disobedient And the dollar was condemned as the world's reserve currency and means of international settlements," #Lavrov said.

@GottaLaff "...as Musk asserts his influence on Trump to partner more closely with #Russia, #China, and #NorthKorea."

ICYMI:

#Maddow looks at the role #Musk is playing in #Trump's campaign, as well as the important role he plays in US nat sec matters & his unnervingly close relationship w #Putin & other US adversaries. If #Harris wins the presidency, Musk's allegiances will be a tricky national security mess to clean up. But if #Trump wins, the entire global power balance could shift as Musk asserts his influence on Trump to partner more closely with #Russia, #China, and #NorthKorea.

#Russia being quite serious about being at war with #NATO while NATO sings “la-la-la” like it did in 2014:

Western security officials say they believe that two incendiary devices, shipped via DHL, were part of a covert Russian operation that ultimately aimed to start fires aboard cargo or passenger aircraft flying to the U.S. and Canada, as Moscow steps up a sabotage campaign against Washington and its allies.

The devices ignited at DHL logistics hubs in July, one in Leipzig, Germany, and another in Birmingham, England. The explosions set off a multinational race to find the culprits.

Now investigators and spy agencies in Europe have figured out how the devices—electric massagers implanted with a magnesium-based flammable substance—were made and concluded that they were part of a wider Russian plot, according to security officials and people familiar with the probe.

Security officials say the electric massagers, sent to the U.K. from Lithuania, appear to have been a test run to figure out how to get such incendiary devices aboard planes bound for North America.

#Russia is putting a significant amount of money and effort into boosting content that pushes its agenda. Main strategies include: enlisting influencers, setting up fake websites and fake accounts, and using an army of bots. Poorly designed algorithms and poorly monitored platforms make sure the Kremlin #disinfo and #propaganda is rather effective.

DW's Roger Ditter explains how things work in detail.

A new analysis by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy suggests that stopping military aid to #Ukraine would cost #Germany’s economy “significantly more” than maintaining current support levels.

Germany’s average annual military support for Ukraine since the beginning of #Russia’s invasion amounts to only 0.1% of its GDP, while ending this support could result in costs of 1-2% of GDP annually.
