Putin is especially savvy though. He is controlling a lot of world leaders right now.

    Personally, I'm of the opinion that much of the world's shift toward authoritarianism is thanks to Putin's two decades of misinformation, sabotage, hacking, military involvement and other campaigns. A lot of what Russia does in that field comes off as a conspiracy theory that looks like it's straight from a spy movie, but there's a trove of evidence backing it up. Everybody knows about the DNC hack but I feel like there are many other things that have flown under the radar. For example, how many people know that the so-called Internet Research Agency got Americans out to protest for BLM? They also got people out to protest against BLM. The same for guns rights and other issues. The goal has been to sow discord and division, which is exactly what we're seeing in the world today.

    It's incredible what he's done as harm towards America and Ukraine. There has to be more countries he's screwed over. Saying things like the other commenter that Trump was dumb and easy to manipulate, doesn't take into account that Trump got a second term with a lot of help.

    Yeah, Trump is undoubtedly thankful for the hacks and the information campaigns, including the recently revealed funding of the likes of Tim Pool. I've seen various opinions attributing Trump's most recent win to the rise of influencers and podcast creators who presented themselves as an alternative to the traditional media. You're right about the other countries too. Having the likes of Schroeder or Le Pen on the payroll goes a long way, and that's not the limit of the extent of the Russian operations.

    Edit: Grammar.

    OK I know it's not only Trump, but still - it's easy to be savvy against him.

    Many more "world leaders" are not controlled by him, most see straight through the Kremlin's charades. Ten years ago, hell, even 2022, I might've agreed, but not anymore.
