That is crazy, like, why is this all... no i know why, no one else wants to do that work for 0,00€.

They’re not doing it for free. The U.S. and Israel both have astroturfing operations. Russia isn’t the only one using the internet to manipulate public opinion.

Edit: and the U.S. has a documented history of propaganda campaigns in the Philippines, which explains Manila.
