    Why is Russia so good at this? They have so much less money, so many fewer people, they were completely demolished 30 years ago, and they are shot through with corruption. How could they be so effective at controlling USA politicians and the USA electoral system and the USA Congress and the USA media when the USA spends far more on propaganda, far more on espionage, far more on media, far more on their military, far more on international relations, and has more people and has much longer unbroken period of prosperity and has more control over the world’s resources and has more influence over the world governments?

    It just doesn’t make sense. How is Russia this good?

      It just doesn’t make sense.

      Maybe because they don’t control it, and it is propaganda from people within the USA, telling you that you should vote for their party instead of the other party? :)
