The Russian state media network RT was one of the first outlets to broadcast graphic footage of the assassination last week.
Russia and other foreign adversaries have pounced on the assassination of Charlie Kirk as an opportunity to spread propaganda aimed at aggravating U.S. political divisions and painting America as an unstable country on the decline, according to researchers.
Soon after the news broke about Kirk’s murder, Russian state media and pro-Kremlin voices on social media suggested that the United States was poised for a possible civil war and that dark conspiracies — possibly involving elements of a “deep state” — had played a role in the murder.
Chinese state media portrayed the attack as yet another example of a troubled society in decline, plagued by political disorder and gun violence. State media posted video of lawmakers arguing in Congress and highlighted U.S. experts discussing a climate of violence.
Oh boy here we go again with the russophobia and empire fearmongering.

Oh, .world, that makes sense why empire “news” is being spread here
Russophobia would be discrimination or suspicion for everyone who happens to be Russian.
There’s genuinely a lot of blatant examples of that going around in recent years, but reporting on the disinformation campaigns of the fascist Russian government is not it.
Also, “empire fearmongering” is such a weird tankie phrase, implying either that Putin et al have no ambitions of geopolitical dominance, or that countries dominating other countries is ever a good thing. Ridiculous either way.
Thank you.
