This is only humorous in the magnitude of Western moronicity.
Even just lightly perusing this utterly link packed, succinct, dated, summary
of Russia ever failing, Russia and Putin collapsing, Russia the greatest
threat, Putin the world's most powerful man and the ultimate threat for many
years to the "Rules-based international order" and powerful interferer in most
of the major Western elections - this little article evidently took quite a bit
of effort to collate, and may well be useful in the future due to how jam
packed it is. Enjoy over malt on ice:

a less expensive and attainable aim.
Its economy – thanks to Western sanctions – has made it probably the only
autarky in the world.

Election interference is a falsehood designed to damage Trump and
exculpate Clinton which has been picked up by Washington’s puppies. But
don’t bother with mere evidence; As the author of this New Yorker piece
explains:
Such externally guided operations exist, but to exaggerate their
prevalence and potency ends up eroding the idea of genuine bottom-up
protest—in a way that, ironically, is entirely congenial to Putin’s
conspiratorial world view.
