    Russian info warfare or what is known as "weaponization of information" trolling requires a number of things....among them the ability to deflect, distort and distract. (key elements of the Russian 6Ds of propaganda)........all the while setting a particular narrative....as the narrative is the message they are attempting to push.

    It has been seen in the last 18 months of weaponization of information that those that troll tend to have an interesting indicator or fingerprint so to speak.....they specifically fail to address questions placed to them and tend to reinforce their own narrative by massive cutting and pasting as if it lends creditability to their narrative AND the cutting and pasting is used to reinforce the deflection, distortion and distraction of their narrative.

    Specific questions were placed to this commenter and none answered......why is that?....answering the question/questions pulls the troll off his or her "narrative"....and then it is hard to get back on "message" and control the narrative.

    You will notice that this particular commenter tends to fulfill the above points .....
