At this point, it’s becoming a cute underdog story. Poor Russia is still losing a war they thought would be over in three days two and a half years ago. Now, they’re breaking out the Facebook and Twitter bots to take over the election like it’s still 2016.

Keep flexing as though you’re still a “superpower,” little buddy. In a few years, we’ll be nostalgic for when you were a real adversary. Again.

Have you watched the movie Network (1976)? I feel like Russia is in the position of "the Arabs" right now (and I don't say more in case you haven't watched it).

Fantastic movie, but I watched it so long ago I barely remember it.
