It sucks how incomplete their data is thanks to Facebook not also giving them the Russian military accounts actual postings. Just the names and the advertisements that they paid for.Given the new population of "Canadian" trolls we now have at RIU, perhaps revisiting the objective of this attack is in order, :
Exposing Russia’s Effort to Sow Discord Online: The Internet Research Agency and Advertisements
“[H]ad a strategic goal to sow discord in the U.S. political system, including the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Defendants posted derogatory information about a number of candidates, and by early to mid-2016, Defendants’ operations included supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump (“Trump Campaign”) and disparaging Hillary Clinton. Defendants made various expenditures to carry out those activities, including buying political advertisements on social media in the names of U.S. persons and entities. Defendants also staged political rallies inside the United States, and while posing as U.S. grassroots entities and U.S. persons, and without revealing their Russian identities and ORGANIZATION affiliation, solicited and compensated real U.S. persons to promote or disparage candidates. Some Defendants, posing as U.S. persons and without revealing their Russian association, communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump Campaign and with other political activists to seek to coordinate political activities.”
I look at the crap these so-called "Canadians" are posting and I see little news or current affairs. I see plenty of pleas to emotion that fit the "sow discord" objective very well. Also, right wing propaganda, such as their little bid to distract with the hydroxychloroquine hoax. We both know who jumped on that topic with both feet and feeds from some nobody 7th day Adventist-doctor.
It is interesting when you see something like what they posted here, absolutely innocuous, until you realize that it is the Russian military.
