Russian trolls are all over internet now. Here is their MO [View all]

01: Why isn't Biden securing the US borders but is concerned with Europe?
02: Anyone who speaks out against Putin supports Nazis and Fascism.
03: Biden is helping Ukraine because of his drug-addicted son.
04: Pro-Trump arguments.

It's all red herring, argumentum ad absurdum, deflection, and ad hominem.

If you see it here, please alert immediately. And if they are under 100 posts, contact MIRT. We in MIRT have been told to look out for it. If you suspect a troll, even if it's a long time poster, ALERT immediately.
