Russia is neither winning nor is their disinformation campaigns that successful. This is because despite their best efforts, when they needed their propaganda to work the most, it backfired and the west is more united than ever. Not only that but the country is basically wrecked due to the invasion of Ukraine
They put one of their assets in the White House, and you think they’re failing? They might do it a second time for fucks sake!
Russia isn't exactly benefiting from its investments is the point I'm making
France on the verge of an extreme right takeover
Germanys AfD party making significant gains
Substantial foreign influence in the legislative and executive branches of US Politics
By all means, please continue to ignore the signs. “It can’t happen here”, right?
Those parties aren't gaining ground because of Russia. Russia is definitely an influence, but they're not the reason these parties are winning. They're gaining ground because the establishment parties are failing people and these parties are the only alternative they have. We've seen such parties win in Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, etc but nothing really changed foreign policy wise.
So just “no big deal”. Got it.
In terms of Russian interests? Pretty much
You are so full of shit dude. Or completely blind. Maybe both.

And a documented Russian puppet.
A Putin's puppet. Yes.
