How can you listen to people say "We will let Russia invade our NATO allies if they don't give us money" and not think Russia is not only influencing, but winning against the US?

Duh? To not think so would be a complete lack of critical thought and a pathetic understanding of geopolitics. Literally every country that exists in our borders with a embassy does, Russia isn't special on that front.

Russia just happens to do it more brazenly than most.

Of course world powers are trying to mess with each others elections. I'd that country has real elections anyway. I have no doubt that Russia is helping candidates that would be more favorable toward them, same with other world powers like China, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and anyone else who has the money and wants a powerful nation to be friendlier to them.

Any yeah America does it too.

Yes. And they're really active on social media as well. Look up any post about Putin or Russia or Ukraine or anything even tangentially related. Look at the top comments and look at the responses to any comments that are anti Russia/Putin that manage to break through

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/russias-prigozhin-admits-interfering-us-elections-2022-11-07/

Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Monday he had interfered in U.S. elections and would continue doing so in future, the first such admission from a figure implicated by Washington in efforts to influence American politics.

In comments posted by the press service of his Concord catering firm on Russia's Facebook equivalent VKontakte, Prigozhin said: "We have interfered (in U.S. elections), we are interfering and we will continue to interfere. Carefully, accurately, surgically and in our own way, as we know how to do."

I assume he's taking the post to mean "look how awesome Russia is for successfully interfering with American politics". It's an absolute clown nose take but that's probably where he's going with it.

I mean, yeah, no shit. And no doubt America is trying to influence Russia's too. And both are trying to influence China, and China is trying to influence both, and so on for any other major country you'd like to bring up (and even most minor ones).

Nah, it's just some Americans being "Putin is literally Sauron!!!" rather than admit the flaws in their political and economic system. If the system wasn't so rotten, people wouldn't feel the need to vote for extremists like the Current Republicans.

Yeah, I think we should focus on why half of the country is willing to vote for them, and fix those things, rather than blame everything on Russia.
