Here's an interesting story. Tropical fish enthusiast and former US naval officer #SarahBils blows a fuse and pretends to be a #Russian citizen fightning for freedom in #Donbas under the nickname #DonbassDevushka.

Also she was gathering money for the cause - or herself - while being on active duty and while having a US security clearance. And yes, there's also a link to the Pentagon leak.

Mind boggling stuff.

"Social-Media Account Overseen by Former Navy Noncommissioned Officer Helped Spread Secrets

A social-media account overseen by a former U.S. Navy noncommissioned officer—a prominent online voice supporting Russia’s war on Ukraine—played a key role in the spread of intelligence documents allegedly leaked by Airman First Class Jack Teixeira, reposting files from obscure online chat rooms.

A purported Russian blogger known as Donbass Devushka, which translates as Donbas Girl, is the face of a network of pro-Kremlin social-media, podcasting, merchandise and fundraising accounts. But the person who hosted podcasts as Donbass Devushka and oversees these accounts is a Washington-state-based former U.S. enlisted aviation electronics technician whose real name is Sarah Bils."
