With all these events, I do wonder about the connection with the 2016 election and "Russiagate." Strange how almost no one in the media is even mentioning this.
The Mueller investigation didn't find any direct connection between Trump and Putin but it was very clear that Putin was responsible for hacking and leaking damaging info through Wikileaks to help Trump win. It also documented how Russia ran a massive astroturfing campaign to influence American social media.
Then in 2020 Trump loses and the Democrats are back in power. Right before Trump left office it was revealed that someone, most likely Russia, had gotten access to the entire US security infrastructure, major US tech companies etc ("Solar Winds" hack).
But actually these attacks and accusations between the two sides go back years since Putin accused the USA of meddling in the 2012 Russian elections. Then there was the Snowden leak, the Maidan revolution etc.
But think about it...if you are Putin and standing accused by the top levels of the US government of meddling in their election, would you not be feeling extremely paranoid? Of course Putin placed himself in this position but he may be convinced the USA will take its revenge one way or the other and therefore is desperate.
