Vodka Slammers All Around; Mission Accomplished

"Hey Boris, Vodka Slammers All Around; Mission Accomplished. These Americans are so, how do you say it. . . vul·ner·a·ble. We need not spend money on that military crap when it's so easy this way. . . Давайте выпьем за успех нашего дела!" 
[Note: The above quote is meant to be a joke. The following quote is real. Taken from the February 16, 2018, indictment by Robert Mueller (pp24).] 
"KAVERZINA further wrote, 'I created all these pictures and posts, and the Americans believed that it was written by their people.'”
Vladimir Putin and the Russians must be toasting vodka slammers by the dozens as they watch their U.S. social media dashboards tracking the results of their devilish mischief. They must be wondering why they spent so much money on nukes and military madness when it's so easy this way.

Despite repeated warnings of Russian interference, Trump and his newly morphed GOP base of traitorous enablers have no incentive to stop the blatant Russian cyber attack on American democracy. Why would they? It all benefits them and furthers Trump's fantasy which appears to be some sort of autocratic takeover the U.S. democracy. Trump's single-minded focus on himself combined with his lack of respect for, and ignorance of, the American governmental foundation makes him the perfect stooge for Vladimir Putin.

The Russian meddling never stopped after the election and it's carefully fabricated and now woven into the tribalistic cloth of American politics. It is succeeding in spreading hate, distrust and disruption in our vulnerable society and fulfilling Putin's ultimate of dream of destroying the American state.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of State seems to have given them the green light; saying there really isn't much we can do and whatever we do they'll just figure a way around it. And, all the while POTUS says it's all fake news and a witch-hunt and like a spoiled child refuses to take his daily dose of Russian intel, because he doesn't like it and it upsets him. He would rather have his sugar coated pablum spoon fed to him by Fox News.
