They were worshiping Putin way back in 2014 even before TFG

2. 2014 was really bad here with the pro Russian BS.

So many trolls and the easily lead about by their noses were all in for Putin here. It was truly hit or miss if the propaganda would be hidden.

So, yeah, it was a big thing back then, even here. Russia used to own the narratives (propaganda) hands down on the internet until this overreach in Ukraine. A lot of Ukraine people work in IT remotely for various companies, including many here in the US. They were ready for this and owned his stagnant ass. They've won the information war hands down this round.

I'll give a hat tip here to social media platforms. I tend to despise them since 2016, but in this instance they've done better.
