I mean, I don't even care if they do because the US is the king of messing with other countries politics, I was just wondering what peoples actual serious opinions here are on the whole Russiagate thing outside of (rightfully) mocking liberals obsession with it.

Psyops leverage existing conflicts. Russia didn't create our problems, and doesn't have the resources to do half of what libs like to think they are responsible for. That said, of course they would exploit any advantage available. Still, it's not hard to look back at US history and see how we ended up here.
