"The pro-Russia crowd contains a fair number of Russian trolls." Yeah, maybe... but none of them will confess to it, they all claim to be just old-style American conservatives, meaning, if not out-right isolationists, at least in support of doing what Pres. John Quincy Adams famously described as
“America goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy"
One problem with the authenticity of their pose is that they are all way too passionate in opposition to, not just Ukraine, but also American conservatives trying to support Ukraine.
Look at their gross ad hominems, their vile insults and personal assaults, their mocking memes.
Are these the behaviors of genuine American conservatives, trying to weigh in the balance whether or how much the US should extend our support for European countries beyond NATO?
Or do they sound more like paid propagandists, working for an enemy who wishes, not only Ukraine no good, but also evil on the United States as well?
To me the answers seem obvious, but others will have to judge for themselves.
