I wish US security services didn't spend last 6 years working hard on having their credibility on anything regarding Russia sacrificed to near-sighted political goals. I wish US politicians didn't use "Russia" as a cheap smear to throw around when they couldn't think of anything better. Maybe if they didn't spend 6 years crying wolf, when the real wolf came, we'd be a bit more ready.

Heck, you still have dragonwriter elsewhere in this discussion connecting this war with Brexit, Trump, and even Catalonian separatism. Catalonian separatists will be amused to hear that they are all Russian stooges, or something.
