#1 Of course, USGOV does about nothing for most US citizens jailed overseas, so what does Lavrov expect?

#3 I'm weary of these chicken____ chicken____ers who never encountered a single ally they didn't sell out in one way or another to the Russians suddenly being Born Again Nationalist Patriots because a bunch of SMR shitposted to facebook.

Just going back four years... they let Russia have Ukraine, then turned around and paid them through Iran to bomb Syria into submission... but horrors, someone might read mind-reprogramming byte strings created by the evil genius SMR.

This isn't really about the Russians. It's using the Russians for purposes of establishing domestic censorship.

#4 I’m not sure what SMR means, but I am sure that the Democrats chose this approach on the assumption that Republicans have a visceral hatred/fear of Russia, and would therefore be galvanized to turn against President Trump. Given all the doubling down since the original accusations were released to the media, they must still be convinced of this despite evidence to the contrary.

#6 There are more Hard Left-Wingers mad at Russia for being Apostates and betraying the Grand Socialist Crusade™ than Right-Wing Xenophobes hating Russians 'cuz they're Rooskies.

#7 Magpie: They expressed their anger by as recently as 2015 giving billions of dollars to Iran, a large fraction of which probably ended up in... Russia?
