    The Russians are killing it as far as mass influence campaigns to undermine Western democracy.

    Trump, Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau resigning, Brexit, Le Pen, AfD, Macron. I have very little in the way of evidence, but I absolutely know that there are clear signs of the Russians being involved in some of that, and to me the pattern that anything liberal and anti-Russian is having its democracy beset by sudden massive crises exactly as if you would suspect if someone was working hard at exploiting its preexisting fault lines and trying to tear it apart, is hard to miss.
