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 disingenuous attempt 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. He has (intentionally) paved the way for their long-awaited post-Soviet Union comeback.

Do a favour for the USA and quit posting garbage. Instead try to pull in the reins of American politicians gone loose and every which way.

Too bad Trump and Cruz have to deal with people like you and gain your vote.
