    The Grayzone is not reliable reporting. It is no different from the Daily Mail or Breitbart, it simply leans in a different direction.

    Reader beware.

      Check OPs posting history. Pro-China content, Pro-Russia content, ignores every article critical of Russia/China. If this isn’t a troll account, then OP is the very definition of a useful idiot.

          There’s no “discussion” to be had with someone arguing in bad faith. The “I’m just asking kweschens” crowd use this method to exhaust any real discussion by putting the pressure on defending against bullshit claims. Bullshit claims shouldn’t even be acknowledged and the people presenting them shouldn’t be allowed to take part in the discussion. Don’t like it? Find a thread that accepts that bullshit. There’s a website I know that will be happy to humor that sort of discussion.

          Absolutely. Harvard estimates that China’s 50 Cent troll army makes 488 million comments per year. And that was their estimate from 2016. Always be skeptical of what you’re read, and if you’re suspicious, check the poster’s comment history.

          I actually got a temp ban for calling out a massive Russian troll account on Reddit because, “You have to attack the idea, not the user.”
