How is a “Russian Troll” distinguished from anyone else who posts a negative comment?

This is what I'm starting to wonder.

Some random Russian citizen posting an angry comment on Twitter or Facebook is different from an American doing the same... how?

There’s been an increase of attacks on my devices since I post opinions dissenting from those coming from Washington DC on Syria.

There is reason for the Russian s to make a lot of their S-400 SAM system, which they claim shot down a lot of our cruise missiles last time. Evidently they are claiming again. And it is interesting how our military leadership preempted them by claiming 40 defensive missiles were fired AFTER the cruise missiles impacted.

The S-400 proving it is all that the Russians claim ( and the west fears) would be a big boost to Russia’s image of military prowess.

Things were kinda weird here last night, I wondered if it was Dem trolls, but could be Russian, I don't know.

Russian SAM’s did not engage any American munitions yesterday, and both US & Russia have said this.

I think I know how to ferret out the Russian trolls.

We’ll just ask them who won the last World Series, and if they don’t get the right answer....yep, they’re Russians.

Let’s take a poll. Everyone here who is influenced by random posts from unknown posters on liberal social media, raise your hand.
