I didn't know who that person was, so I had to go look it up. What turned up was a veritable fountain of weird foreign propaganda. Apparently a woman gave out cookies and now bots are here on HN.

- regularization 2y agoTrump was elected to do this, so I guess "bots" means the majority of Americans who elected him. He is also surrounded by Silicon Valley money people who support this. Also tech workers who don't want neocon forever wars. (I voted not for Trump but for Jill Stein, who agreed with some of Trump's positions on the Ukraine)

- mopsi 2y agoShe is a weird centerpiece of Russian-pushed conspiracy theories that attempt to convince that a relatively unknown middle manager from the US State Department was a mastermind in a vast conspiracy that pitted Ukraine against Russia, which left Russia no other option than to invade Ukraine and start raping and killing there. Her name is like one of those obscure, but highly specific factoids that 9/11 truthers, flat-earthers or the chemtrail crowd share with each other and bring up at every opportunity. When someone starts telling you about the melting temperature of steel beams or the height of crematorium chimneys at Auschwitz, it's a clear sign that they've been reading conspiracy theories from the sketchiest corners of the internet. Nuland's name is a similar signal.
