but at least on Guardian (I haven't read Daily Mail), they're routinely flooded with unhinged, nakedly pro-Putin propaganda claiming that Russia has an inherent right to invade and annex any country with a Russian-speaking minority if it feels like it. And the language of comments like that is always virtually identical, same fascistic slogans, same rhetoric.

If you're claiming such fascist ideological spam is the spontaneous opinions of free people with liberal and anti-war opinions, I can only laugh.
