Lol what? You think that because Russia spread some money around Brexit only exists because of Russia?
It’s like the idiots in the US that ignore 70 million people voted for Trump, and want to pretend the only reason for that is that Russia spent $100,000 on Facebook ads. Because they don’t want to address the actual problems that’s destroying their societies. Much easier to just claim it’s all Putler or something.
Do you not understand that just because something is to Russia’s advantage, and Russia wants it to happen, does not mean that Russia can make it happen?
If you think Brexit was to the benefit of Russia, and you oppose Russia’s government (as you should) - OK. Then why wouldn’t you want to address the root causes that are powering anti-EU parties all over? Take away the fuel.
The West pretty much showed to Russia in the 1990s and 2000s that it was going to consider international relations a zero sum game. So Russia is of course going to work to make the problems the US and UK have worse, as the US has done with Russia.
But once you worsen a problem enough, you are the primary cause.
Conspiracy nuts are harmless until their opinions become more widespread. The root cause is social media illiteracy but if you have nation states acting as fire accelerants every single sparking wire can result in an inferno.
Oh, and this didn’t even start in the 90s. The Soviets didn’t spread HIV conspiracy theories for fun and games.

no one said any of that.
Why did Russia bother doing anything if it would’ve happened regardless apparently?
To aid it and make it worse?
