Russian trolls have been at this since 2014, before Trump announced. Their goal was not to get a certain person elected, but to capitalize on vulnerabilities within our society and electoral process to stir what little chaos they can. Even our arguments between each other on this board are reflective of their goals...
If you choose to spend a meaningful amount of time in Russia, you will witness the circus-nature of their elections and the dysfunctional “democracy” they’ve failed to forge following the collapse of the USSR. Think Blue State/Red States are bad? Modern Russia is also very divided: they have outright Islamic republic outposts like Chechnya within their own territory that they must to keep happy and stable.
In 2014, we were at our weakest as a nation under Obama, but they were aggressively doping their way through Sochi Olympics, annexing Crimea and invading East Ukraine, and preparing for Syria...
Yet even all those actions can’t hide make up for their lingering insecurities...so this is their outlet: sabotage stronger countries they envy and resent however they can.
“Our” media is a bigger threat to America than the Russians.
I don’t care about Russian Trolls. It is not illegal and it is not effective as it “did not effect the out come of the election” according to the deep state creep Rosenstien. Obozo interfered in the Israel elections . He should be indicted and extradited to Israel for that heinous crime?
