Russian trolls at DU question if I may

This may have been talked to death and I missed it. But remember how people seeming to be Americans or Canadians or Brits, etc got just a bit too pissed off about the Ukrainian protester cookies thing? Like so genuinely pissed out of proportion that it just seemed unreal for anyone from any of those places of any political position to be THAT angry?

About the fucking cookies?

Obvious thing obvious? Right?

And fellow Russian stooge the US Amb gave out cookies to protestors and a handful of "people" just got so fuckung bent out of shape against her and Obama and Clinton that it just didnt seem plausible even then. And obvious now.

My answer to your question is, obviously, that I didn't notice the phenomenon you describe.

and you'll get plenty of examples. Some are, of course, people saying "why do people go on about Nuland handing out cookies?"
