way to stay on topic whiskey.

to me, the effort the russians put into such patently useless efforts (like posting here) bespeaks a reliance on magical thinking. going after military sites and servers is one thing, that’s a legitimate target. but wasting efforts in other areas is just pathetic. don’t they see how the ny times is dying from their own propaganda efforts? don’t they know they can’t sway people in persistent online forums?

given the total lack of a commercial economy in russia, it isn’t surprising that they are very ignorant of the new realities in communications.

if anyone wants to take the time and trouble, do some textual analysis of all the well known leftie news outlets, for common passages. already the british papers are spewing out article after article about how “the west was humiliated” — just like our resident parrot, whiskey.
