 It seems to me that that's exactly what's going on here. They understand that Russia is more of an authoritarian country than the United States. They are terrified of the wild card that is whoever is the leader after Putin. So they're trying to get the grip on Russia right now so they can contain that national security threat. And that's what our intelligence community does. It justifies crimes against humanity, the killing of civilians, war after war in the name of a utilitarian Machiavellian. Yeah, we're going to kill some.
