lyrics

The Russian government feels threatened by Western democracies, both directly through sanctions and indirectly because free press and civil liberties expose Russian government corruption. Witness the annexation of Crimea, the military attacks on Ukraine and the information warfare campaign conducted during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Robert Mueller’s report states unequivocally that Russia launched a “sweeping and systematic” attack on US democratic institutions during the 2016 presidential election.

Putin has made it a priority to attack the democracies of Europe and the United States. He has used security services, the media, public and private companies, organized criminal groups, and social and religious organizations to spread malicious disinformation, interfere in elections, fuel corruption and threaten energy security. Enormous numbers of Americans are not only failing to fight back but they are unwitting collaborators by reading, retweeting, sharing and reacting to Russian propaganda and provocations every day. America's outdated election infrastructure offers ample targets for hackers.

The United States is only one front in a worldwide campaign of Russian election interference. Researchers at the University of Toronto have documented 16 electoral interventions linked to Russia since 2015. Nine of those elections led to results that favored the Kremlin's strategic interests, including Britain's 2016 vote to leave the European Union. Hackers linked to Russia have also targeted pro-European Union politicians in Norway, Germany and France.

If you weren't already worried about Russia, you should be now.
