Putting aside 'rent-free' boy for a minute. That yacht story for Zelenskyy literally came from a Russian account and then was picked up online until eventually halfwift morons like Vance and, someone who makes Pauline Hanson look like a rocket scientist, MTG.
All those USSR leaders wasted trillions of dollars on missiles and armed forces and all they had to do was pay a few blokes on the internet and wait for non-thinking, gullible deadshit idiots, as is evidenced here, to do their bidding.

All for a lousy $800 million. Something Musk gets from the government in a month.
The clown is worth 500 billion and he's happy to see children die because he thinks there's fraud.
Fine, cut their funding then but surely if you have that much cash lying about why not do the decent thing and help some of these poor people out. What is wrong with bloke?
Oh yeah, that's right, 'Empathy is a weakness'.
How's that defence spending audit going along by the way?
USAID - $30 billion
Defence budget $850 billion.
Prestigious US university Johns Hopkins said on Thursday it will lay off more than 2000 employees around the world in the aftermath of the Trump administration’s massive reduction in foreign aid funds.
“This is a difficult day for our entire community,” the leading scientific institution said. “The termination of more than $US800 million ($1.3 billion) in USAID funding is now forcing us to wind down critical work.”
The university is based in Baltimore, Maryland’s largest city an hour’s drive north of the US capital, but is eliminating at least 1975 jobs in projects across 44 countries and 247 jobs in the United States.
President Donald Trump and his senior advisor, billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk, have embarked on a campaign to slash federal spending, targeting in particular support from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) for foreign aid, research and development.
Johns Hopkins University is one of the institutions hardest hit by these drastic reductions.
In early March, its president Ronald Daniels explained in a message to students and professors that federal money accounted for nearly half of the backing it funds received last year.
Referring to a “historical relationship” between the “first American research university” and the government, he warned that students, researchers and professors would see damage to programs designed to improve health, hygiene and medicine across the world.
Thursday’s announcement confirmed that the cuts hit the university’s medical school and school of public health as well as Jhpiego, a global non-profit organization founded more than 50 years ago and which works to improve health in countries worldwide.
“Johns Hopkins is immensely proud of the work done by our colleagues in Jhpiego, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the School of Medicine to care for mothers and infants, fight disease, provide clean drinking water, and advance countless other critical, life-saving efforts around the world,” the university said.
The university receives roughly $US1 billion ($1.6 billion) annually in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is currently running 600 clinical trials, according to The New York Times, which added that Hopkins is one of the plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit challenging such cuts.
USAID, the largest funding agency for Jhpiego, distributes humanitarian aid around the world, with health and emergency programs in around 120 countries.
Mr Trump, whose appointees are dismantling the humanitarian agency, signed an executive order in January demanding a freeze on all US foreign aid to allow time to assess expenses. Critics warn that slashing USAID work will endanger millions of lives.

You're not wrong.
And in Australia both sides are guilty of it.
Labour with their 'mediscare' campaign
Palmer with his 'death duties'
The coalition with their 'retirees tax'
I'm not even sure how you'd outlaw it. At some ALP branch meeting in bumfuck NSW where you have outright commos and capitalists all mixing together throwing up ideas no doubt someone mentioned 'death duties' or 'inheritance tax' 20 years ago.
Technically Palmer or the Libs can say 'that this was once proposed by the Labor party' and they'd be right.
Labor could say the same thing about the Coalition.
I think the idea is right, 'no lies in campaigns' I'm not sure how you'd enforce it.
Like they say 'a lie is halfway around the world before the truth gets it's boots on'.

and you're a middle aged man... there's no excuse for being this level of ignorant other than extremely low IQ

Why would Muz want to disseminate fact from fiction? He seems to do a good job of separating fact from your fiction-you must be getting a bit tired and starting to show some fraying of your personality.Anyway enjoy your pro totalitarian views.

How pro-Russian 'yacht' propaganda influenced US debate over Ukraine aid
A false rumour spread by a dubious AI-powered website caught the attention of leading politicians.
www.bbc.com
The next day, it was picked up by a site called DC Weekly, alongside pictures of the two yachts - called Lucky Me and My Legacy - and documents purportedly confirming the sale of the boats to Zelensky's associates.
But the luxury yacht brokers where both vessels are listed for sale said that the allegations are false. The sales documents appear to be forgeries. And instead of having been purchased by Zelensky or his close advisers, both Lucky Me and My Legacy are still up for sale.
Evidence collected by the researchers indicates that the site continued to be connected to the same server as several of Mr Dougan's other websites. BBC Verify also found that part of the DC Weekly website is hosted on a server in Moscow.
In October, a widely shared claim on social media stated that President Zelensky's wife spent a fortune on jewellery in New York while the Ukrainian president was in the city speaking to the United Nations.
One English-language site was instrumental in spreading the rumour - DC Weekly.

In fun news. Musk's AI GROK thinks Trump is a Russian asset.
Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok has declared that there is at least a 75 percent chance that President Donald Trump is a "Russian asset" who has been "compromised" by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
www.newsweek.com
"I estimate a 75-85% likelihood that Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end (around 85%) due to the cumulative weight of historical patterns, financial incentives, and his unwavering refusal to challenge Putin," Grok stated.
The chatbot indicated that its conclusion was based on "three pillars" of information, including Trump's "extensive financial ties" to Russia, "intelligence suggesting Russian intent" and "Trump's behavioral consistency—never criticizing Putin while attacking allies."
"The 'useful idiot' scenario, where Trump's ego and debts make him unwittingly pliable, fits the pattern as much as deliberate collusion might," it continued.
Grok also concluded that Trump was 85 percent likely to be a Russian asset when simply asked if the president was "a Russian asset" without any qualifiers.
"If I had to put a number on it, I'd say 85 out of 100," Musk's AI tool stated. "That's not proof beyond a reasonable doubt, but it's way past coincidence. You'd be naive to dismiss it outright."

At the very least GROK posits that Trump is a 'useful idiot', just like the Russian bot, spoon fed, non-critical thinking, lickspittles here doing Putin's work for him.
