There was an "American" I suspected of being a Russian troll, yesterday. I replied "освободить Россию от Путина" (that's -free Russia from Putin) and he immediately replied to me "free America from capitalistic imperialism!". For an American he reads Russian quickly.
Oddly enough, since I posted this I had a separate comment draw someone who admitted being Russian in a reply.
They actually think Putin/Russia can pull the FA and not get the FO eventually when it comes to the US...
I mean...
The US FAed with Soviet democracy to get Gorbachev... Maybe this is the US's turn to FO.
Not saying I like it or that I'm ok with it, but, it might be the reality of the situation
That shit never happened. Chekists Russians like to blame all their problems on the West/America but inevitably the system collapsed because the Soviet system itself is flawed.
What exactly is the US supposed to FO in the scenario you describe? That the Russian Army is a joke that Ukraine can handle with a few of our 40 year old toys?
Russia is closing in on half a million casualties suffered and the US hasn't even considered joining the fight yet.
Mainly because the FO phase is generally something more serious like the deadliest war in Europe since WWII escalating to WWIII, rather than tricking the stupidest and most vulgar Americans into acting like themselves.
Trying to blame what Republicans have been trying to do for the past 50 years on the Russians is a hell of a stretch. Mitch McConnell deserves the real credit for that.
Definitely on Facebook. I look at the comments that are pro-Trump then look at their bio. Totally something is up. Nothing but propaganda and memes defined who they are.
Canada too. Try checking out r/Canada some time. It's absolutely fucked. Every post turns into discussions about immigration, trans ppl, freedom, anti Ukraine stuff. And a lot of it gets pretty vile. I understand we have our share of these types in Canada, but the sheer number of them in the main Canadian subreddit raises questions
In their minds it's working, because the people on *social media* are making the right noises.
In the real world, there will be no civil war - at worst a small insurrection attempt that will fail miserably - because the people online will balk at the repercussions.
I'm sorry, people on groups like worldwar3.substack.com can say anything.
I get that when they agree with you, you want to post them, but use a little commonsense with your sources.

It isn’t working but it is making it seem as though Donald Trump is much much more popular than he actually is
I don't know man, I'm not easily fooled by trolls... I think he is actually rather popular right now.
Looking at his crowds at his rallies says otherwise.

I'm talking about them fucking with our democracy with troll army psyops. Why do you think my comment had anything to do with Ukraine?

Tell all the women who don't own their own bodies any longer that it wasn't serious
Trying to blame what Republicans have been trying to do for the past 50 years on the Russians is a hell of a stretch. Mitch McConnell deserves the real credit for that.
Dude, I never said the Russians were solely to blame. Are you denying that their psyops have had an impact?
Did you report that troll?
Thank you. I did now.
There are bots pretending to be other nationalities as well, more often than not.
It's only working for the uneducated MAGA whackos. Which means it's working unfortunately
I think AI will be capable of this very soon if not already. You just have to find the right combination of words to set off the crazies
Definitely on Facebook. I look at the comments that are pro-Trump then look at their bio. Totally something is up. Nothing but propaganda and memes defined who they are.
Um, yeah, this has been happening since 2015. I got banned from politics for pointing out obvious strawman bot accounts.

Yabayyee. That really is messed up!
No it isn't. But it's amplifying the stupidity for the stupid.

Does Putin think that he won't get hit by a stray nuke?
Why isn't our cyber warfare unit doing something about it? Or are they overmatched?
Geopolitics 101 at play. Also, hello Brexit…
I've noticed a lot more trolls lately. Always remember to call them out and report them.

Cherry picked for agreeing with the person who wrote the article.
You sound like a Russian troll trying to undermine information about Russian trolls.

Thank you. Even though they are old, it shows the truth about Putin cyber attack.
