Worth a look I guess, but seems pro-drumpf to me. China and Iran fear trump, it implies, and the “leaked Biden phone calls” it refers to are actually going to be ALTERED, phonied-up calls. So take it with a grain of salt.

it's a real post. Part of INSCOM - U.S. Army Intelligence & Security Command. The 780th says it's "the Army's only offensive cyber operations brigade." It's history goes back to 1998, and the 780th was formed in 2011. It was formed under Obama and operates now in the era of trumpism.

My memory's not good these years, but I must have come on mentions of them before. They have a pattern of posting RT links without explanation, apparently followers are supposed to know.
