    I don’t believe there is any rationale behind it beyond harm to the USA.

    This is just Krasnov doing as he’s told by his boss, the goal is damage. You’d have to overlook the absolute myriad of Russian ties, convictions, scandals and verified facts to see any other plan at play - yet the US news continually gives him the benefit of the doubt and thus the populace is left looking for alternative motives.

      Not trying to disagree with you, but many things can be true at the same time. The theory of Trump’s tariff is still conforming to his close ally’s, Steve Bannon, view of “economic nationalism”. But at the same time, Trump may well be getting signals from Putin. After all, Putin still indulges the right.
