Are you implying that the "neo-KGB" never mounted a concerted effort to manipulate western public opinion through comment spam? We can debate whether that should be called a "troll army", but we're fairly certain that such efforts are made, no?

Russian mass influence campaigns are well documented globally and have been for more than a decade.

It is also right in their military strategy text that you can read yourself.

Even beyond that, why would an adversarial nation state to the US not do this? It is extremely asymmetrical, effective and cheap.

The parent comment shows how easy it is to manipulate smart people away from their common sense into believing obvious nonsense if you use your brain for 2 seconds.

Going by your past comments, you're a great example of a russian troll.
