The assassination of Charlie Kirk has sent shockwaves through the United States, but now, foreign adversaries like Russia and China are seizing the opportunity to exploit the tragedy. According to NBC, these countries are pushing propaganda to inflame U.S. political divisions and paint America as an unstable, declining nation.
The rhetoric coming from Russian state media and other pro-Kremlin outlets is particularly aggressive, with one outlet even going so far as to blame Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the killing. This is a pretty big deal because it’s the same thing they did with the attempted assassination of Donald Trump last year, which they also blamed on Kyiv.
