..about Turkey shooting down the Russian Su-24 on the Syrian border in 2015. If he was a troll, it would make perfect sense. There were also a few troll-types who would swarm in whenever I'd mention Wesley Clark's direction of the Kosovo conflict. They'd usually accuse him of being a war criminal, and say a bunch of things about what he and NATO did in Kosovo that weren't true. That makes sense, given that NATO was attacking the Serbian militias (who were allies of the Russians), and trying to stop the militias from committing genocide. If you were in Russia at the time, you would have gotten a very different view of Kosovo.
