The Kremlin’s Troll Army: Moscow is financing legions of pro-Russia Internet commenters:

A June article by Max Seddon of BuzzFeed reported the Kremlin was spending millions of dollars to pay English-speaking Russians to promote President Vladimir Putin and his policies in U.S. media like Fox News broadcasting and The Huffington Post and Politico news sites. Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”

They do this only in an attempt to win the trust of anti-Obama folks -- a clever/sneaky way to add credibility to their pro-Russia, pro-Putin BS.
Yet it seems to work on some of us! In reality, Obama is the best thing that has happened to Russia in a long time.

Total bullshit. Russia has plenty of "Orthodox" Christians, but only 7 percent even attend church just once a month. There is also a bizarre synthesis of the elements of Communism and Stalinism with "Orthodox" nationalism. Hence we see stuff like this:

Russia is a degenerate country that isn't getting better. It's people live in a crap pile, and they like it that way, and they would like to make everyone in the world live like they do.

Those who hate Russia will deny it, but there is a lot of truth here. Sad for us, but true.

Invading your neighbors is not an act of Christianity.

Flying your nuclear armed bombers into other nation’s airspace is not the act of a Christian.

Arming a rogue states like Iran with Nuclear weapons, is not the act of a Christian.

Arming the one of the most strident enemies of Israel with nuclear weapons, is not the act of a Christian.

Now while the U. S. has just signed an agreement to let Iran persue it’s desires with regard to nuclear weapons, we haven’t provided know-how and the promise to arm them with state of the art delivery systems. Russia has.

The idea that Russia is today’s moral leader is about as flawed a perception as there could be.

Both the Euro West and Russia have a demographic problem.

The part about Russia might be pure propaganda and disinformation. But the part about us is completely accurate.

Right. Russia is a Christian nation. The United States is officially atheist.

Except I can’t escape the feeling that we mean it and Russia doesn’t.

Good on Russia for defending their Black Sea Port.

The pu$$ies in our government can’t even match the courage.
