1. Posts like this make me laugh,

Latest Breaking News - Putin is already interfering in our election by spreading division.

Guess who is behind all of the ant-vax propaganda? That's right, Putin.

Back in the 2016 primary Putin was behind the Bernie Bros.

Putin really doesn't have to do that much in our elections, he has the Putin Party rigging the elections.

2. In Contrast to His Costly Blunder in Invading Ukraine,

Why didn't Putin just put his money into influencing the 2022 congressional elections and the 2024 presidential elections in the US? That's what I was wondering as I was watching this video. Interfering in US elections is far less costly, far less risk, and a far greater return on investment for Putin.

3. And that's what we learned he planned to do, starting in Europe

And we know he's attempted to influence elections in both the U.S. and Europe in recent years. All I can think is that what he's doing now was number two on his list - recreating the USSR (which he thought would take three days in Ukraine).
