On the contrary. The attacks have been ongoing for years now. You're looking for the tanks and missiles when the attack is actually happening right under your feet. Rot and corruption are more powerful than any bullets or missiles.

- Terr_ 2y ago... Wow, this must be peak Kremlin shilling: Blaming other countries for Russia's decades of kleptocratic leadership and endemic corruption at all levels. It's historically, financially, and strategically incoherent. Trying to bribe people who are already rich with hard-to-hide things, just to make them extra-corrupt in the vague hope that it somehow results in pilfered AK-47s being sold on the black market? Sorry, but no: Being shaken down by Russian traffic cops for bribes every week is a domestic problem.
- onlypassingthru 2y agoDoes it? You think Russia can't corrupt a German Chancellor or a US President? Boy have I got news for you!
