Putin is a former KGB agent. He’s good at the things that the KGB were good at, because that’s how he was trained. Foreign influence is one of those things that he’s very good at thanks to that training, and Russia has been good at for a very long time, actually. So it’s kind of one of Russia’s core competencies.
I’m saddened by the result. I wonder what the cause is for this.
Lots of reports of massive funding by Russia in influence campaigns.
Is this why people say Putin is evil smart? While making mistakes, it doesn’t matter in the large scheme of screwing with the opponent

I don’t know the causes, but dark times lie ahead of us.
