Russia, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, is reportedly directing trolls to promote fake news on social media. Secretary of Defense James Mattis moved the press briefing about the strike from Friday to Saturday to hinder the disinformation campaign.

The briefing confirmed that the U.S. does not wish to seek conflict in Syria, with White calling out Russia directly, saying quote, “We call upon Russia to honor its commitment to ensure the Assad regime dismantles its chemical weapons program and never uses chemical weapons again.”

There was no coordination between Russia or the U.S. before the strike, with Russian President Putin calling the strike an "act of aggression against a sovereign state.

Putin's boys are busy little bees but the sad thing is that there are American media outlets that will run with the fake news bull **** ball.

Now that the Russian trolls are NOT on their side - I see Republicans are suddenly willing to call them out.

Funny how that works.

Russian trolls were claiming a false flag BEFORE it even happened. Sad to know that Trump supporters listen to this kind of propaganda.

Russian troll here.

Ummm...war is bad. No war in Syria. We should have peace and non-intervention. The U.S. should bring home every single troop from every single country. $22 trillion in debt can't be cured by having a military empire.

Hope Mr. Putin pays me on time for these.

Assange is a hero, along with Snowden.

Anyone who is against war with Syria is a Russian bot.

clever, I see how you guys plan on conditioning people to never question the government and fall in line.
