At this point, it’s becoming a cute underdog story. Poor Russia is still losing a war they thought would be over in three days two and a half years ago. Now, they’re breaking out the Facebook and Twitter bots to take over the election like it’s still 2016.

Keep flexing as though you’re still a “superpower,” little buddy. In a few years, we’ll be nostalgic for when you were a real adversary. Again.

As much as it is very funny, it's still a threat that should be taken seriously.

Stay vigilant, lads. Be watchful for any bots trying to throw a wrench into the works.
