Russia really are going balls-out with the Twitter trolling.

It is weird.

But the best explanation for why Russia's Putin might back Trump and block Hilary is this: Clinton wanted to turn the war HOT against Syria's ally Assad - and Trump did and does not.

In other words, Russia wants to defend national interests in having more warm water ports for her navy as well as direct access to Middle East oil. Hilary Clinton was going to reverse Obama's supine positioning of the US there.

More to it than that. It's about fighting over who gets to control the pipeline that they want to build through Syria. Russia currently enjoys strong power over Europe because they control the only natural gas pipeline into Europe. Saudia Arabia(Obama's true masters) want to end that control, so therefore Obama and the US establishment want to end it. They've gone to enormous lengths to make it happen and oust Assad yet Putin has managed to stop them at every turn. At this point they're so frustrated with it that they're willing to risk open war.

One more reason for the Left to hate Putin:





This guy is awesome.

Rule 1: create made up enemies to install fear in your people so they can be easily controlled.
Rule 2: Once citizens are so sacred of nothing, attack these countries (primary for oil and resources) so citizens will feel safe from made up fear (media's job).
3. Repeat rule 1 and invade another country!

Regardless of how bad of a dude Putin is, we need to remember that he is not in it to make america a better place to live and if he could by making american lives miserable improve russia all else equal he would do it in a heartbeat.

According to MIT media labs putin is one of the top 50 most influencial people in the american election.

In particular, look at this quote:

Quote:Russia has been learning how social media helps spread stories for years. Adrian Chen followed one early effort Russia undertook on this front in 2014. He researched a Russian "troll farm," where employees of the Russian government flooded social media feeds with dummy content. One type of behavior he noticed was hoaxing, whereby Russian troll accounts would try to fabricate some sort of emergency and then study how local media picked up on the story and covered it.

Remember the guy is old-school KGB.

Very clever tactics and extremely informative post.
I wish that we had leadership with the balls and out-of-the-box thinking, to exercise these types of strategies.

What a silly statement. Our shadow government absolutely uses these types of strategies. They simply use it on their own populace.

America has the most effective propaganda and social conditioning in human history. Look at our populace and our mainstream television and radio programming. Pure propaganda. A population of programmed zombies, easily manipulated.
