You say that, but they have had spies being exposed for a lot of stupid reasons. Like having their address on driving licenses be the FSB headquarters to avoid getting traffic tickets.
Also, it seems entirely possible to me that they would do that not for the purposes of spying, but to sow chaos.
- Technically 6y agoPutin is, indeed, a huge fan of non-linear warfare. One side effect that it's extremely difficult to predict and can only be, possibly, recognized, and intent (the "true" end) is virtually impossible to discern. If you push a ton of buttons at once, you create opportunities for yourself that you might not even have predicted, and people can ascribe all sorts of intent that never existed. It's part of why I roll my eyes at election interference—not that it's somehow "fake", but the amount of hysteria generated has got to be a better return than anyone could have guessed throwing a couple million dollars at an online propaganda campaign.
