I can’t figure out what they’re trying to accomplish with their trolling. It’s so weird and stupid.
Doesn’t it make the most sense for sensitive diplomacy to be carried-out diplomatically, not by Tweet?
Can’t blame the Russians for encouraging more Trump Tweets, however. Anything to weaken the United States.
That current feed aside, two things need to be looked at with this tweet:
Is it weird to watch supposed diplomats act like the ice cream man?
I’m actually wondering out loud, if the Russian Govt feels the same way about the VOA?
Does it make us look weaker or that we’re just a country full of morons.
They are looking for like minded folks to mess with. Unfortunately its working in some form, but…
I was thinking earlier today what was written here.
Maybe they’re trying to get their embassy blown up for a casus belli…
Yes.
Is it really an either/or?
They are cheer leading…
They are also getting ready for a potential RT backlash…but right now, its just cheer leading.
no
no

Someone tell me again about how killing the electoral college is going to save us.
Also there is no such thing as ‘free speech’.
It’s freedom of speech and its a right that shouldn’t be f— with by idiots.
I wish Christopher Hitchens was alive.
k…
PM May better be very careful dealing with Trump.
Seems that they are continuing to use Twitter to troll Trump in order to re-assert the ‘importance’ of Twitter. While it’s clear to anyone with any sort of critical thinking skill that governance by Twitter is the equivalent of a toddler demanding more candy, when the Russians use it to poke/prop up Trump, they are just re-affirming to the Toddler in Chief that tweeting is a legitimate governing strategy.
Make Trump and the rest of America look like a bunch of idiots (as if they need more help).
Trump is getting played so hard and successfully that it’s moving from schadenfreude to just plain embarrassing.
Goal is to excite and unite the white nationalist / white supremacist movements. Keep them alive, signal that they have an ally in Russia. Turn them into useful idiots who will troll on Russia’s behalf on social media.
