I appreciate your reply, and for the sake of this argument I will concede the above statement.
But my real question here was about the motives of the "Russian trolls", not their actions.
So the question I'm trying to ask is not WHAT are they saying, but WHY do you think they're saying it. It's that "why" that differentiates a troll from someone who is simply wrong.
Well, we know that the Russian government pays people to post comments favoring Russia on websites. So the motive of the troll merely might be financial. For others, it might be ideological. For even others (such as a Paultard), it simply is stupidity.
