Putin can get fucked.
Shouldn’t that be a default position in the West?
It’s not the default position?
This is oversimplification to avoid an essay; Nationalism has been on the rise all over. With nationalism comes a loss of multi-nation agreements/positive sentiment (a la Brexit). Even without statements of pro-Putin ideology, it’s easy to see why Russia would want nationalists in power. I have family in Germany and am worried about AfD.
TL;DR - they don’t even need to be pro-Putin to get his help (not to say that they aren’t)
How is this not considered an act of war?
Because literally every country engages in foreign influence operations and they have since centralized power was a thing.
