kitchen5203 Those responsible in Russia should pay a heavy price.

Putin will need to direct his propaganda to his own people. There's a growing realization among Russians that Putin & his government have lied to them about the severity of the pandemic.

HillBeverlyhill Please don't include the Dems in this. We are not buying any of their BS. We are laser focused on voting this administration out in November. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

HillBeverlyhill Trump does good enough for making us lose faith in our govt.

BruceAHeyman All we have to do is watch realDonaldTrump and the GOP to lose faith in our government. The GOP’s complacency where trump is concerned did it for me. I don’t need to hear/read anything from Russia to form that opinion.

I know, I can't believe the Russians have been retweeting Trump's daily press briefings either!

CUT OFF RUSSIA FROM INTERNET

It's only helping the IDIOTS to push conspiracy theories and other narratives. I am sick and tired of calling these people misinformed. They're willfully ignorant, and want to stay that way.

Pointing out troll/bots on social media is going to help eliminate the dangerous propaganda effects. See something - say something!

Since 2105....missed that part but again, u have missed this for 3 yrs.

Trumps America.

Hillary again

IT'S NOT THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT!!!! ITS THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT!!!!

They do not need social media as they have MSM such as yourselves in their pockets

Well assisted by the paparazzi, who are only too eager to publish anti government propaganda. Pity, we once had a media of trained and respected journalists who took due diligence in researching a story. Now the criteria is, how sensational is it. Sod the truth. Paparazzi.

Why do they need spies? All Putin needs to do is call his buddy trump for all the info needed.

Haha haha... wait, you serious? I’m sorry you’ve zero credibility.

Meanwhile I'm sure CIA is benignly standing by, adjusting its humanitarian halo.

They already have the angle it’s the main stream media they been pushing the Russia agenda for the last 3 1/2

Well, duh. Real good intelligence ya got there. Thanks for reporting the completely obvious.

Does anybody knows the new name of KGB...... They are number one, the work they did in UK......... or the Mosaad work in Hotel

Moscow’s intelligence services haven’t had to work hard at all for the last three years. They are pretty much on cruise control at this point.

Don't have to try too hard, I'm sure Trump is helping. russianpresident

The ONLY way they will get an upper hand is for the DOPEY American voter to vote Biden in. THEN they will run over us and leave tank treads on all of our backs.

🇺🇸TRUMP2020🇺🇸

Never seem to hear China spy tales from you guys. Seems a tad more relevant right now.

Hahaha since we are now finding out the clinton campaign are the ones who colluded and Bernie is out, there is no-one left...

Seriously - intelligence - from trumps administration - a first grader could find every weakness in America - I’m certain Putin has all the info he needs directly from trump.

We gots lots of angles, Nighthawk, TR3B etc... so there's that... 🤔

The same can be said about China.

Why do they need an angle we are led to believe that the military is in shambles and post daily their failings. Now I am definitely believing this Trevornoah see comrade

russian spies and trolls run rampant bc trump loves putin thank you trump

They don’t have to search hard. They already have an angle. They elected the Manchurian Candidate.

Is your source Brennan again?

Why havent we went to war for them attacking our Democracy. This is bullshit and realDonaldTrump and GOP continue to bow to Putin Russia

Imagine a foreign goverment doing that... sneaky sneaky

Hopefully the CIA are too on our behalf
