the quote was all that was relevant and its honestly not half as bad as youre making it out to be.
your link has comments from the literal Russian press director. the fact that Maria Zakharova, a Russian bureaucrat, thinks Merkel's comments are enough to warrant a tribunal is fucking hilarious
I didn't make it out to be anything, I just provided a source, the original comment was made in a German publication (which my link mentions) I could post that if you would rather. I'm sure it is funny to you but you don't seem to know much about this situation beyond US/Ukraine propaganda. Genuinely don't even mean that as an insult since that is all most people in the west know about it.

I'm asking you to specify what you think was Russian propaganda because we disagree on what we each think that is.
That is an opinion article literally written by member of the US government, didn't you just complain about the link I posted even quoting a member of the Russian government? Besides that, it is about Venezuela and doesn't say anything new, the only connection to Russia mentioned was that Russian state news reported on their protests and the situation in Venezuela.
This is the guy who wrote it by the way
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_TiptonJust take a browse through, would you generally support this man's opinions?

the rich husband of codepink's co-founder is directly tied to groups that promote pro-Chinese/Russian propaganda in addition to promoting anti-Nato/anti-US Ukraine aid messaging. he describes himself as a socialist and publicly said that Venezuela under Chavez was a "phenomenally democratic place"
he was also in legal trouble in India 2 years ago for giving $5 million to an Indian News Site to push pro-Chinese propaganda in Indian media. are you starting to get a grasp on the kind of people codepink consists of? this guy is one of their biggest financial backers (that we know of)
Just browsed through but didn't really see anything about Russia, his connections seem to be with China and those sound pretty tenuous tbh, all pushed by right wing sources which I find it funny you trust given your usual opinion of anything right wing.

I agree with most of this but I absolutely believe that they are in cahoots, at least to some degree
The US has a history of linking dissident groups with foreign governments in order to surveil and oppress them, which is why I don't trust the reporting on this given the people involved. Can't read the NYT article because of a paywall.
