Russia and China, Very Different

I came across two very different stories today. One is about Russian 'bots' which are pretending to be humans promoting ideas in discussion on Twitter. They're sowing dischord and confusion. The other is about the Chinese government re-assigning Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) troops to plant trees. They want clean air and this is good for everyone on the planet.

Perhaps government should consider legislation which would enable our Cyber Corps to 'kill' the Russian 'bots' before they can do more damage and then create a way to promote more tree planting here in America. We could begin by NOT turning national park lands over to mineral resource mining companies.
