So this article was worth a paid subscription. I haven't trusted anything coming out of Moscow for years, and don't understand the talking heads who argue against the war in Ukraine. I believe these people are insular and terribly short-sighted. Looking into the future from a geopolitical point of view, letting Putin forge ahead unchecked to gobble up the former Soviet Union could never end well. He'd be so stoked with his own power he'd just keep going. Would there have potentially been a better moment to draw the line in the sand?

Great piece by Justin, a close-up look at some Russian interference operations and their absurdity. But an important note in the conclusion about naïveté in our response to such stories.
