With the plunge in fossil fuel prices the big dick that Russia was swinging in the '00's at Europe turned into half hard old male porn star status.
So they've been playing up the Us vs The West cold war shit for a while, annexing small time ex-soviet satellites and thumbing their nose at NATO to keep their people focused on the fact that all that fossil fueled prosperity was fading away.
This should have been a short term win, long term fail plan because only the US has the economy to push corporate welfare a la the military industrial complex for long periods of time.
Suddenly the Nato states lost their shit and effectively didn't want to be the EU, don't want to be NATO, just wanna be islands on their own, refugee and terrorism free.
They got their mid '10's viagra on, pounding that hard soviet dick into the middle east, effectively showing up the US, giving a new generation of movie screenwriters generic russian badguys to write.
Russia hackers have been ruling the internet for a minute; half of my new 'hot off the presses' shit I get come from a webpage with an .ru at the end of it (so does half the malware, but that's neither here nor there). US has been using propaganda to influence politics since forever, and it's not the first time a foreign entity didn't put some bucks behind a candidate in their self interest.
But to see the country literally fall apart like this has to make Russia smile. All that American unity bullshit went to the winds very quickly. Russia's economic hardships aren't going nowhere, they are fucked as a nation. But you gotta figure out while the oligarchs raid their coffers and plan their long term escapes, watching the US fall apart in a similar fashion to the Soviet Union has to make them smile on the way out.
