In the days since the U.S. raid in Venezuela, a network of Russian propaganda websites has been promoting a message that countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia should stop buying American military hardware, according to a firm that tracks the online activities.
The websites, known as “Portal Kombat,” have also said that the U.S. seizure of Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan president, shows that the United States is unreliable and dangerous.
An analysis by Alethea, a company that tracks influence operations, found that articles published by Sputnik, a media outlet controlled by the Russian state, were quickly amplified and promoted by the larger network of websites used by Russian security services to attack the West.
