Russian spy agencies and new technologies could be used to push conspiracy theories, U.S. officials say.

I sleep well knowing US has no such agencies and technologies.

But Mr. Putin believes he can influence American politics to weaken support for Ukraine and potentially restore his battlefield advantage, U.S. officials said.

I love how Putin goes from being an insecure dictator who acts on impulse to being this fucking Russian mastermind who can influence politics and swing whole elections in the US. Could it ever be that some American taxpayers don't want to fund yet another war overseas? Nooo, it's da evil rashan mastermind meddling with US politics again, damn it.
