Russia is an enormous threat to Western civilization, haven't you heard? /s

>> Nothing to do with frequency. Why even mention it and try to associate with Russia?

Merely yet more anti-russian neocon propaganda, who are nostalgic for the cold war. It's the $insert_one_of: Chinese, Russian, North Korean, Iranian hackers who took down the electric grid, hacked hospitals etc.

It's not like Russian agents go around attacking The West, doing things like interfering in elections or launching chemical warfare in Western nations is it?

Oh, wait, yes - that's exactly what they've done.

Chemical warfare?

Meaning assassination with polonium, I guess. I dunno if it's chemical warfare but not something I expect from a reasonable government.

That too, but I was referring to the Novichok poisonings in 2018: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_of_Sergei_and_Yulia_...

I think this is referring to the poisonings in Salisbury in England in 2018.

Ah, Cold War... Probably, these two Russian agents who committed an assasination attempt (led to innocent human casualties), using chemical weapon on the soil of a NATO country, were particularly nostalgic.
