The common patterns are:
- they make bold and elaborate claims, filled with resentment from random past events (usually pinned on the US, or if they're in a rough spot they go back to the colonialism of the past centuries of some countries) - but completely out of context. Example: "Why can't Russia invade Ukraine but the US invaded Iraq!", "Why can't Russia expand borders but Western countries had colonies all over the world?"
- they claim you're lying, then proceed to lie without providing sources;
- they distort reality with lies, like : "Russia didn't kidnap 25.000 children, they evacuated them from a war zone" -> ignoring the fact that Russia was the cause of the war, they could allow Ukrainians to evacuate their children, and they should have returned the children.
And the list goes on, but its all very child-like, empty of content, they can write several paragraphs without saying anything.
