Our films, music and even TV shows can be seen and heard almost everywhere but North Korea.

It should come as no surprise that foreign actors know us well. Heck, I can't know this for sure but I bet a lot of those working for the IRA in Russia are plotting and saving for the day they can leave their jobs and come here to live with no ill intent and hopes of becoming a citizen someday.

You can usually tell when a person loves their work whether here, Russia, China or wherever and I'll bet it shows in a lot of their "troll's" efforts that have actually been identified.
