I can’t be the only one

It’s been 15 days since Putin invaded Ukraine. Every morning since February 24th, I wake and, before hitting the head or taking a sip of my morning tea, I check the news.

• Is Kyiv still in Ukraine hands?
• Have any of the nuclear power plants been blown up?
• What new atrocities has that monstrous fucker perpetrated today?
• What’s the gaslighting du jour?
• Is President Zelenskyy safe? 

Then, I thank the royal baby Bast, once more, that the egomaniacal imbecile—Russia’s most dimwitted tool—the former guy, lost the damn election.

Unsurprisingly, with Twitter and other social media sites, now heavily restricted there’s a LOT fewer bullshit Russian bot posts.

While publicly criticizing and cracking down on these platforms, Russia continues to covertly use U.S. social media sites—including Twitter—to spread harmful disinformation. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram were used by the Russian Internet Research Agency to subvert the 2016 election, and more recently have been employed to spread harmful misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine. (source)

Still, a scammer/spammer, showing real initiative and resourcefulness, managed to get through my defenses by finding my address and sending me an email.

Hello there,



I checked your website, you have an impressive site but ranking is not well on the Google, Yahoo and Bing

.

Would you like to optimize your site? I will be happy to share with you our pricing and proposal.



Look forward to hearing from you soon.



Regards,
 
Anjali Pandey

The email was also signed as Anklit Kanaujiya. C’mon, which nom de scam/spam do you want me to use?

The sender (Anjali? Annklit?) was writing from a bk.ru account.

An elevated amount of abusive accounts have recently originated from bk.ru, which we would classify as a medium risk profile. (source)

Criminals in eastern Europe have used .ru domains for a while, registering domain names under fake identities and using them to send spam or set up command-and-control servers to send instructions to networks of hacked computers. (source)

Looka hear, American’s are far from the brightest beings on the planet but neither are we all drooling, gullible, lickspittling morons. Remember that 45 lost the popular vote in 2016 by nearly 2.9 million votes. He lost to Biden in 2020 by well over seven million. Having said that, even after watching the carrot colored crap artist (and his faithful Klan of sycophants and fellow Putin suck-ups) collude with Russia to destroy democracy, even after living through all the imbecilic inanities, gaslighting and openly criminal bullshit, 46.8% of US citizens STILL thought the motherfucker should be president.

In truth, Pandey (Kanaujiya?) had close to 50/50 odds that he/she was launching a grift on a pants shittingly dimwitted rube.
