Really, no one should be surprised that the Twitter accounts behind Russian embassies are good at trolling. After all Russia, is developing a reputation as the world's trolliest nation.

As such, the Russian embassy in the United Kingdom has continually taken shots at the United States since the election of Donald Trump on Nov. 8.

The White House has since said it has evidence that the Russian government engaged in a hacking campaign of Democratic officials that was designed to propel Trump to the presidency. Much like Trump himself, Russia's U.K. embassy professes to disagree.

Despite the denials, the embrassy isn't exactly pretending it wasn't rooting for Trump.

The embassy has also been keen on a little U.S. foreign policy-bashing in recent days.

It's like watching fans gloat after their football team wins, really. To the victor go the trolls.
