I'll leave it to the Russians to determine if they are achieving their publicly stated goals or not.

In the meantime, I think we should focus on helping our government better & more efficiently serve the people in America...rather than flooding the world with weapons, publically lecturing about "values" while privately destabilizing governments abroad & arming genocidal maniacs & Banderite Nazis...while disproportionately enriching select contractors & politically entrenched institutions.
