Seen in Oakland at the Bay Bridge today. 100% true.
After Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, it hacked Ukraine’s power grid. A Russian-speaking hacker operation hacked Ukraine’s election reporting system. Putin wanted sanctions lifted w/o giving up Crimea. For that, he needed a friend in the White House.
