Summary
Russia and China are reportedly targeting recently fired or vulnerable U.S. federal employees for recruitment, CNN reports, citing intelligence sources.
They aim to exploit mass layoffs under Trump and DOGE, especially looking for individuals with knowledge of critical infrastructure.
Recruitment efforts include social media outreach on LinkedIn, TikTok, and Reddit.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard condemned the report, calling affected employees “disloyal.” A CNN source warned that ignoring the issue could have serious national security consequences.
Thats actually pretty brilliant. Fire a bunch of important people/piss them off and take away their income then swoop in and offer these important and knowledgable people money for information and/or access. Who wouldn’t be disgruntled after all this BS?
Loyalty works both ways. Hopefully the fired workers put their country first, even if it abandoned them.
This will be true for most, but I would imagine there’s no way 100% say no…
Thanks trump! Also, fuck your fat rapist ass.
I’d like to see links, or at least screenshots, to these supposed outreaches, looong before we start accusing people who would apparently be warning us of such recruitment efforts as disloyal. Sounds like it’s just fElons trying to justify their past imbecilic actions by post dating the firings with “and they’re disloyal, too!”
so… Russia and China are looking at things like US infrastructure, Social Security and health care and are saying “we need to learn how they did this, at all costs”?
Edit: to be clear, this is not against the people who were laid off. They are the ones who took an underfunded system and kept it afloat thanks to their hard work. For that, I get why Russia or China would want them… But for the secrets? I’ll tell you the secret: it was them. And now they are being laid off by the Interplanetary Genius
