Crimea (part of Ukraine) was "liberated" by "little green men"[0] and then coincidently decided to join Russian federation.
There is no secret that Russian government sponsors internet trolls to push it's agenda [1]
I agree that someone might abuse "Russian troll" card but keep in mind that Russian (government) is no saint here. Russians themselves are fine though. And please don't start with "but Americans also do this and that". Im saying here that Russian trolls are real. One use twitter, other use military uniforms without insignia. Depending on situation ;)

Not propaganda, which is what your links are really.
Real evidence. Something tangible, which leads to the conclusions being promoted by the propaganda. I'm yet to see any. Like, there is literally ZERO evidence preferred, every single time.
And its working very well as a propaganda point too - now, any time someone questions the powers that be and the way they operate, well .. obviously that person is a Russian troll.
The irony in how quickly Americans seem to have picked up this authoritarian control mechanism (propaganda==truth) seems to have been lost on a lot of people. Do they still teach Orwell in schools in America?
