Following U.S.-led coalition strikes in Syria to degrade chemical weapons capabilities, the Pentagon says it's seen a “2,000 percent increase” in Russian “disinformation.”...Chief Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said at a briefing on Saturday that “there has been a 2,000 percent increase in Russian trolls in the last 24 hours.”

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

Usually by their accent, and clothes.

Don’t forget they are claiming the BRexit majority vote was ALSO a result of Russian trolls.

Yet don’t bother explaining to the Left that SDS, the State Department, and other groups were infested with Soviet Agents in the 40s-60s.

These Russian trolls have an uncanny ability to form the opposite opinion to CNN. It’s almost like they are watching and not believing what they see there. :)

That reminds me of “Russian hands and Roman fingers”.

Russian Defense Ministry list of SAMs used by Syrians last night:

“To repel the attack, Damascus deployed Soviet-made surface-to-air missile systems, including S-125 (NATO reporting name: SA-3 Goa), S-200 (SA-5 Gammon), 2K12 Kub (SA-6 Gainful) and Buk”

from RT.com

so it appears neither the S-300 nor the S-400 used.

The S-125 was upgraded a few years back so it is relatively modern. The S-200 is ancient. The Buk is very modern. These are all relatively short range.

Videos also showed the junk truck mounted FLAK that seems to have no connection to the air defense network. I always believe the Russians give this systems away because they are worthless noisemakers.

A Russian “Troll” is three feet high, has eyebrows as thick and wide as their moustaches, goes by the name of Ivan, and has a Hammer and Sickle on his forehead.

Damned! I just described Chuck Schumer, John Conyers, Keith Ellison, Sheldon “I’m Batshit Crazy” Whitehouse, Blumenthal (I served in Vietnam, you know), Kerry - Mr. Cambodia, Harry Reid - definitely; Little Dickie the Troll Durbin, Elijah “The Man” Cummings, Corey “I Left the Shithole of Newark so I could crap up the whole country” Booker; and about half the Democrats in the House, male and female.

Rushing Trolls, all. Always Rushing to blame Bush, Trump, the GOP, the Freedom Caucus, the Military, and Fox News for everything that is wrong in the world.

Russian Trolls seek to destroy America from without. Rushing Trolls seek to destroy America from within.

Which of them poses a greater threat to America, or need I ask?

Won’t work. You may find that Russian trolls are more up on American sports trivia than cucked lefty SJW trolls.

"How is a 'Russian Troll' distinguished from anyone else who posts a negative comment?"

The answer involves software (spiders, etc.), reports from network analyses (routes, etc.), and dossiers. The more they post, the clearer the information on exactly where they are, who they are, how they think and the same information on Americans and others recruited by them.

No Internet activity is invisible to Defense. All Signals can be traced to their origins. Every machine is an open window to its user. Our user equipment and software from the market are way behind newer technologies.

Our activities are watched by tools administered by the brightest of the bright and the best of the best. Impulsive narcissists prevail at making noise in social media, but pride goes before a fall.

They are the same Russian trolls that say...Trump is anti-gun, a war monger, is going to give the illegals amnesty, bla bla bla.

In other words...Liberaltarians.
