    The web brigades (Russian: Веб-бригады), also known as Russia's troll army, Russian bots, Kremlinbots,[1] troll factory,[2][3] or troll farms are state-sponsored anonymous Internet political commentators and trolls linked to the Russian government. Participants report that they are organized into teams and groups of commentators that participate in Russian and international political blogs and Internet forums using sockpuppets and large-scale orchestrated trolling and disinformation campaigns to promote pro-Putin and pro-Russian propaganda.[4][5][6][7] It has also been found that articles on Russian Wikipedia concerning the MH17 crash and the 2014 Ukraine conflict were targeted by Russian internet propaganda outlets

    If no one that you know is disbanding NATO, who are you whining about, Ohion?

    Are you citing a source without linking to it, Lush?

    Exactly; and one of the reasons used to go to war. We tried to stay neutral while German U-boats stalked our coast and sank our ships. Are you purposefully ignorant of history or just pretend to be this dense?

    How about WWII and Korea; how did that work for us?

    PS you are going to lose in the world cup the first great team you face, like France! France the greatest country in Europe!
    Would you rather see France win? I mean granted England winning the Cup is even scarier than the Cubs winning the World Series and is a sure sign of the coming of the apocalypse. I’d still rather face the imminent destruction of life as we know it then have the insufferable French win it again. Let’s be reasonable now.

    Hopefully Belgium and Croatia will make a moot point.

    Billy is operating from a false premise. The US declared war on Germany because of the Zimmerman telegram. Certainly both the US and Germans violation of neutrality played a roll leading up to war but at that time and given the unprecedented butchery of WW1 the American public’s attitude was “You take a ship to Europe and you take your chances.

    The Zimmerman telegram revealed an overt act of war by Germany and it proved a fatal mistake. The American public reversed 180 degrees when they learned Germany was negotiating an alliance with Mexico to wage war on the US when they resumed unrestricted submarine warfare.

    "NATO is a Cold War Relic"
    NATO is as much a relic as the desire for peace in the North Atlantic is a relic.

    parabellum can cepic .... : to insure peace, prepare for war
    "It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

    Trump wants to disband NATO because his puppet master, Vladimir, wants to disband NATO.

    I appreciate the history lesson; but it misses my point to Billy. How did staying out of wars and minding out own business work in WWI, WWII and Korea?
