(46,416 posts)to sink all of our aircraft carriers and how superior they are as a fighting force to the US. Just fucking BIZARRE, until you realize that some DU posters are probably Russian, or at the very least foreign, and can't wait for America to be defeated someday. The RW blogs (Free Republic, Hot Air, et al) have similar posters who try to convince the regular American Repubs that our military is full of gays and thus are going to show up to fight Russia in pink tutus (they actually say this).
And on both the left and the right, they try to convince everyone that you can't trust American government OR western media, and we can't say anything because IRAQ!!, and we should just mind our own business and not worry about Ukraine or Syria. Crazy how much they've infiltrated American internet sites, but when you think about it, it's a cheap/free way to sway public opinion and demoralize.
