When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.
Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.

Homer's Odyssey contributed many words & sayings to the modern language.
“the face that launch’d a thousand ships” is not one of them.
That's Christopher Marlowe, who coined the iconic phrase in his masterpiece Doctor Faustus more than 2,000 years later.
