The Pentagon reported Saturday a massive spike in online Russian propaganda efforts in the hours before and after the U.S. missile strike on Syria the night before.
“The Russian disinformation campaign has already begun. There has been a 2,000 percent increase in Russian trolls in the last 24 hours," chief Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said in a briefing on Saturday.

U.S. forces launched targeted missile strikes on Friday at key military outposts in Syria, where the government is thought to have stored chemical weapons used in a strike that killed over 40 civilians last weekend.
Syria, along with its allies Russia and Iran, has denied the use of chemical weapons and Russia has suggested the entire attack was a fabrication by western forces.

The US whines about online propaganda and trolls about an attack that was done on the basis of propaganda and trolling. Talk about disinformation! Since when online trolling is a Pentagon matter? Don't they have Facebook to deal with first, at the least? The latest meme around is 'as dumb as an american'. They seem the only ones to believe all this shit.

Apparently these accounts are being traced directly to Russian organizations, so it's not just any anti-American message
That said, if they claimed every anti-american message was a russian bot, Americans would eat it up

>>249127 >pparently they're travced back to russia. Would love to see the proof. Would think they'd wave it around like a five year old with their drawing. But nope. More "don't question me" McCarthyism. Needed to show the missiles in Cuba for that crisis. But i guess that lost importance

>>249323 Exactly. It is fascinating how fast they shit their pants back then, when they peeped for a split second at the world, out of the bubble they were living in. But that generation is dead or too old and the iphonesters don't know. Noone told them.
