As a European, I'm hoping this plays out like the Russian attempts to do the same to pre-invasion Ukraine. They took the money, spent it on themselves instead of an influence campaign, reported positive results upwards. I couldn't do that. Wouldn't be able to be so two-faced. But I hope enough other people do it to bankrupt the effort.
