> It mostly all seem to be an attempt to blame Russia for internal problems.

Agreed. The vast majority of the time I see Russia brought up it's being used by mainstream Democrats to dismiss criticism from both the right and the left. Basically anyone that's not a staunch neoliberal gets accused of being a Russian or a Russian puppet.

They're using it as a scapegoat and it seems to be working.
