There is no shortage of useful idiots.
The following is just a snapshot of a huge operation:
Whenever a big news story emerges about yet another obscene russian war crime, an army of kremkrappers move into the comments pages of high coverage news sites.
Yesterday the Daily Telegraph reported :
Russian ‘double tap’ drone strike kills 15 miners on way home from work
Ukraine condemns attack on miners’ vehicle in Dnipropetrovsk as ‘act of terrorism’
Russian forces have killed at least 15 miners travelling home from work in Ukraine in what has been described as “an act of terrorism”.
A bus operated by DTEK, a Ukrainian energy company, was carrying more than 30 miners when it was hit by a Shahed drone in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
After the first attack, a second drone hit civilians attempting to escape from the vehicle in what is known as a “double tap” strike……..
………….
Kremtrolls attempt to establish dominance over the comments section. There is significant pushback from decent commenters, but the damage is done. The objective is to cast doubt on the facts of the case.
It works.
We have seen this countless times because russia has committed countless atrocities. The MH17 plane was shot down by forces under the command of Igor Girlin on July 27, 2014. All 283 passengers and crew were murdered and putinaZi ghouls looted their bodies.
These are the facts, but the kremkrappers went into overdrive and managed to establish doubt in the minds of weak minded people in the west.
They told us it was a (of course entirely innocent) Ukrainian SU pilot and created a ridiculous and operationally impossible set of lies around him. He was named in western news sites as if it was fact. His life was ruined and eventually he committed suicide.
Other claims were that it was MI6, Mossad, the CIA etc.
DT comments were swamped with kremtrolls. Like all other big sites, the mods and the algorithms they all use seem powerless to stop them. But curiously they are much less tolerant of anti-Putin comments. If you combine the words “Putin”, “genocide” and “nazi” in the same sentence, you will be zapped.
Despite the indisputable fact that Putin is a genocidal nazi terrorist.
…………..
Back to the murderous and terrible “double tap” attack on Ukrainian miners. Here are just some of the efforts of the established professional and amateur kremtrolls on that article:

Nope ..not necessarily factual just a take on what Ukraine propaganda puts out ..nothing to be gained by Russia to blow up a bus full of workers..keep an open mind ..we’ll see and keep calm.
We’ve been here before..remember the bombing of a market in 2023? Killing 17 ..much publicised ..and turned out to have been a malfunction of a defence missile astray..why would Russia deliberately target a bus full of ordinary mine workers? absolutely no benefit or gain?war is horrible..btw you are not Lyndsey Graham are you? ..press releases are nonsense..nobody including you or me really know the truth it’s a bias thing i don’t do that time will bring truth.

Pure propaganda.
This is NATO’s proxy war – there is no doubt about it.
Russia should prevail for it to survive.

Only the other day we heard of civilians targeted on a train. Turns out they were high ranking military. As for the attack on a maternity hospital, yes it unfortunately has broken windows but as the cottage industry of drone making is in non industrial areas these events will occur. The West has no room for finger pointing. Ukraine destroyed the Seversky Donets canal and Ukraine blockaded Crimea’s water supply by damming the North Crimean Canal.

“Two people were killed when a drone hit a private home in Stary Oskol in the Belgorod Region, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram”.
We never hear about Ukrainian attacks on Russian civilians. Why is that?
………………………..
The methodology is always the same.
There are countless “journalists” in the west who work entirely for the Kremlin.
Eva Bartlett, an American who works for RT and others of that ilk :
Note : Bartlett, like most or all of them, is a Pali propagandist too.
We should not forget retired U.S. Colonel Douglas Macgregor, who has tirelessly been putting out vile kremlin lies as if they are fact. His YouTube channel is unfortunately very popular.
His message is always the same : “Ukraine is finished!”
Sample from wiki :
“The battle in eastern Ukraine is really almost over. If the Ukrainians don’t surrender in the next 24 hours, I suspect Russia will ultimately annihilate them.”
Macgregor said he believed Russia should be allowed to seize whatever parts of Ukraine it wanted. In his second appearance, he revised his prediction: “The first five days Russian forces I think frankly were too gentle. They’ve now corrected that. So, I would say another 10 days this should be completely over. … I think the most heroic thing he could do right now is come to terms with reality. Neutralize Ukraine.”
………….
Time to neutralise Macgregor. Carlson too.
I managed to get a comment past the DT mods on the terrible miners attack:
“Spare a thought for the agony that the loved ones of the victims are going through.
And it’s all so unnecessary!
Three divisions of Budapest Signatory troops could have been sent in late 2021 and an NFZ could have been established; thus stopping the Putin murder gang in its tracks.
The most evil creature to consume oxygen since Stalin and Hitler is still being permitted to inflict genocide on innocents.
This psychopath has a lot of help : from Iran, NK, China, India and now of course Trump.
There really must be a total NFZ now. It should be provided by CANZUK, Germany, France, Poland, the Balts and the Scandies.”
“DT comments were swamped with kremtrolls. Like all other big sites, the mods and the algorithms they all use seem powerless to stop them.”
Many of us on here met on CNN 12 years ago. I vividly remember the comments section being swamped with trolls. We battled them every day in every possible way. I remember the links we used to back up our posts were from reputable sources, whereas they relied on lies and links from dubious sites at best.
One day, CNN closed down its reader forum. To this day, it remains closed. Maybe, if DT cannot cope with the trolls in its forum, it should close it down as CNN did. It’s the better decision than letting despicable russian scum spread their lies.
Unfortunately, the West is contaminated with idiot citizens who are willing to swallow their diarrhea without question. The best way to fight this garbage is by not offering them a stage.
“There are countless “journalists” in the west who work entirely for the Kremlin.”
And speaking of idiot citizens, they can be found in the Western media, too.
In these harsh times, when the very freedom and democracy we so cherish are at stake, we have countless morons who think we are still living in the prosperous and safe post-WWII era. We are not there anymore. Dangers are lurking virtually everywhere. It’s time for the West to end its stupidity and spinelessness. They’re not doing anyone any favors by sleepwalking as usual.
