For a moment I was wondering that the Irish Republican Army was doing in Ghana ! It should say RIRA not IRA

Even still...

Splitters!

Why not just have the acronym in full: 'Russian Internet Research Agency' to reduce ambiguity? Since us British folk know the historical associations of both RIRA and The IRA.

But yes, at first the title did look like that the IRA somehow expanded to Ghana. Which would be completely bizarre of them.

RIRA can also refer to Real IRA, but is much less likely to lead to confusion with the actual IRA.

And I was thinking about the retirement account ;)

And then when it mentioned using social media for political influence I was thinking a-ha! Sinn Fein bots!
