The state actor in question
You can just say "Russia," at this point I think we all know.
Yes, but also no.
One of the interesting things to come out of #Twitter recently openly geolocating accounts is that the countries (India, Bangladesh, et al.) where there are major organized crime systems for scamming people around the world via telephone/CMC are also the countries where many propaganda (including MAGA) Twitter accounts are run from.
So the people *actually doing the grunt work* aren't likely the Russian state.
