This is all part of the plan. If you run around lighting a dozen tiny fires around the house, even the best firefighting efforts might miss one of them before it becomes an inferno. Russian strategy, time and time again, has been to sow chaos. They don't have the might, economy, or means to expand beyond their own sandbox, so they get by throwing sand at passersby. It's death by a thousand paper cuts; worldwide guerilla warfare in the economy, societal, and minds of their enemies.

TLDR; they're fucking with our collective heads.
