If Russia were half as powerful as articles like this always implicitly require them to be, we'd all be speaking Russian.

I think it's silly to believe that the US is performing covert actions to sway governments in both the global North and global South, but that Russia isn't. That would be naïve.

Lmao, they might not be powerful in military, but they sure know how to push propaganda and bad actors everywhere.

Or not every thing you disagree with in the world is Russia's fault.

Sure buddy, a guy was clogging car's exhausts in Germany pinning it on the Greens was being paid by Russians, and several cables in the nordic countries have been damaged in a way that points to Russia and/or its allies, but Russia is completely innocent /s

Given the undersea cable thing was found to have nothing to do with Russia.. yeah maybe use a different example.

You mean as powerful as to be able to find 3 randos willing to make 100 € per sabotaged car?

The story published by the media does a lot of harm to the greens party. It doesn't even matter if the story is corrected later on. The harm is already done.

Cheap and efficient way to influence the elections.
