Summary
Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence, has a history of promoting Russian propaganda and defending authoritarian leaders like Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin.
Critics cite her support for Russia’s actions in Syria and Ukraine, as well as her embrace of Kremlin-backed conspiracy theories, raising concerns about her fitness for the DNI role.
Intelligence experts warn her appointment could strain relationships with U.S. allies and compromise national security due to her susceptibility to misinformation and lack of extensive national security expertise required by law.
Putin watching Trump follow his hand-delivered list of russian kompromat candidates to a T:
She isn’t compromised, she’s an employee.
Given how things have been going with the republicans recently, I’m not entirely convinced that “kompromat” would even be garunteed to work on them anymore. If they can seemingly get away without serious consequences for virtually anything, what kind of threat does releasing incriminating information even become?
Yeah it’s less fear of kompromat and more fear of the machine they’ve created that feeds millions of idiots.
