EDIT: Earlier DU thread: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.

To her devoted followers, “Donbas Devushka” – or Donbas Girl – is a Russian Jew from the occupied Ukrainian city of Luhansk, who has faithfully broadcast Kremlin propaganda for months.

But in reality, she is Sarah Bils, a 37-year-old divorcee from New Jersey and a US Navy veteran who served as an aviation electronics technician at Whitby Island in Washington State.

Donbas Devushka emerged after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in February last year.

She built up a sizeable social media following on Twitter, Telegram and YouTube, emerging as the face of Russian propaganda, raising money and selling merchandise for the Russian cause.

1. Tokyo Rose American style.

[LittleGirl]

2. She's a veteran? WTF!

Traitor! Damn another one!

[dchill]

3. One of the freedoms of trumpiness is that you're allowed, ...

...as a PATRIOT, to be a traitor. So I've noticed.

[getagrip_already]

4. grifters gotta grift....

She was raising money based on her fake profile. Some of her marks are pizzed...

5. Intel services should take a close look at her time in the military.

[Wounded Bear]

6. They misspelled Whidbey Island...nt

[DENVERPOPS]

11. Wasn't that the island

where the FBI finally caught up with a seriously notorious White Supremeacist leader many years ago??????

[IronLionZion]

9. A few too many Americans are taking sides with Russia against the US

Conservatives and white supremacists especially seem interested in helping Russia for some reason. Traitors. It's public knowledge that Russia has launched cyberattacks on the US and harassed US soldiers in the middle east and Navy ships in the Pacific.

14. One is too many

n/t

[Wednesdays]

10. A Jew from the Ukraine, broadcasting Kremlin propaganda?

That's like a chicken advertising for KFC!

[NJCher]

13. IKR

I was astounded.

Anyway, re her "Using assorted pseudonyms including CheburekiVibes, MeatballSubZero, YuGopnik, GhostofLugansk, "

Looks like she's had a few too many lip injections. Might I suggest Fishlips?

12. Is this the user that Traitor Mike Flynn's brother

A CURRENTLY SERVING 3-STAR GENERAL was fucking amplifying on Twat-Face the other day?

Jesus fucking Christ on a Trailer Hitch...every fucking Flynn serving in the military, from General to Deck Seaman, ought to be in a maximum security federal prison, or GITMO.

[moniss]

16. I've been saying

there is going to be way more to this story. I find it hard to believe that some kid was just f'ng around to impress some pals but yet somehow the Russians were also getting the documents. Higher ups, middlemen cut-outs and cover stories.

Flynn's brother has been looking so dirty he shouldn't have access to the parking lot let alone anything else.

[Warpy]

15. I love seeing these people unmasked!

like the Nigerian prince scammer who turned out to be an appallingly ugly old white dude in Louisiana.

It will be interesting to find out just how much of her fundraising actually went to Russian causes and how much got diverted to her own bank account for salary and expenses.
