Providing some proof of these things is part of the story, but instead we just get an "I guarantee you".

It doesn't. Russia doesn't care what a huge number of people are doing; trying to keep track of them would do nothing but waste their time and resources. They want to target a few specific people.
Well, a good geek doesn't want this type of "slop" content, because we label it "click bait". It's click bait because you only indicate social connections exist between entities of question and use excessive hype to build to the idea. It only raises more questions and does nothing to answer anything concrete about the "situation".
