This is an African located board so...
Liberals equate a non hostility to Putin as being a troll.
When looking at African countries, their diplomacy, they are indeed not hostile to Putin but most of them do not support Russia. China supports Russia. Most African countries do not.
On the other hand, they are adverse to the western world, if not hostile that is what liberals translate as supporting Putin (people are either with liberals or against them) and as trollness.
The irony is that Russia being active in Africa and russians destined to be turned into white people, liberals can not summon their crap rhetorics of anti white racism.
Without Russia involvement, they would have dressed African hostility as anti white racism. They can not so they translate the hostility as support to Putin.
Liberals are as liberals do.
