Reminder Russia is funding almost every single large right-wing populist party in Europe. Front Nationale, UKIP, Fidesz, FSM & Lega, SD, AfD etc, the list goes on. This is much bigger than just the UK and the US. Russia has all of Europe in a natural-gas based stranglehold already and more and more parties are winning elections on Russian money. The amount of influence they have gained in foreign politics in general is frightening.

(This is in Swedish but it's an article about a right-wing politician who accepted a "business trip" as an "election observer" in a Moscow election where he got all expenses paid, freedom to do basically whatever and was the only party official invited from any party, obviously grooming him). I wish I could translate the whole thing because the dude is an idiot who overstepped every boundary in existence during this trip so Russia was not very happy with him.

Of course they all deny it because why wouldn't they but the money comes from somewhere and some, like Marine Le Pen was denied loans by the French banks and suddenly she had a campaign out of nowhere.

Wait til you see how the NRA has been laundering Russian money for Oleg Deripaska and just how far Russian money reaches, it's a real can of worms.
