You know, I believe Russia. I mean, WHY interfere in another country's elections?! Think about it. The phrase, "unintended consequences" looms hugely over such intentions! The high profile irrational fear is that country A's head will be a "Kremlin puppet". How does this work, exactly? Sweetheart deals? No...An outright takeover of country A's effective government seems the greatest fear. But, wait, why would county B want to do all the work of ruling a second country. I doubt country A's head would be allowed to do much out of the ordinary. Does anyone really image any head of state ordering all military to stand down and surrender to Russian forces?! All these "fears" seem rather hysterical to me. Then to think you, as country B, are competent to choose a direction of influence--if you choose wrong, maybe nothing, maybe it backfires, maybe it backfires spectacularly--is a fit depiction of the hubris the gods hate so much. Saying, "unintended consequences be damned!" will get you jinxed.
