I would estimate that 80% of them are russians writing in cyrillic which I can't be bothered to translate. OUT they go. Probably Putin's stooges pushing Trumpist propaganda.

Agreed but what else do we have to go on?

Not to beat the dead horse but what we really need is an HE sample.

Let' s see where we came from.
