#2Disinformation via social media is Putin's superweapon. He keeps the world distracted with thoughts of nuclear warfare while simultaneously waging an information war on the west in an attempt to cause it to fracture from within.
The US Government has done a shockingly bad job of countering this. It's been going on for over a decade and almost nothing has been done about it - and it's working very, very well.

And what should they do? Repeal the first amendment?

#6The way this event was discussed on social media had the troll/agitator/foreign influence stink to it from the start.

#7I don’t argue at all with the key point about Russian propaganda. However, all major governments engage in propaganda, to their own people and people in other countries. To not do so seems like it would be incompetence, not taking advantage of an inexpensive way to push other countries around.
As a matter of fact, I do wish our government had done more to help people in Ohio. Our secretary of transportation, ‘Mayor Pete’, was shameful in his inactivity, as he was in not helping travelers during various airline problems.
I don’t know much about the AP News, but I would be curious if they covered the hardships of the people living near the spill in Ohio.

Questionable messaging about how the story was not being covered, the severity of effects on the environment, and how balloon stories were being used to distract.
To counter these points: it got quite a lot of interest [1], but perhaps that can be discounted because the sensational "cover-up" caused more attention. The burn was probably the correct decision to minimize impact, but it was still heavily criticized. Fighting balloons is just sensational and coincidental.

It wouldn't be good propaganda if I could easily boil it down to a few facts and dismiss it wholesale.
