And we mustn't forget that Putin's money funded the likes of Aaron Banks, Nigel Farage etc. via the Leave campaign as in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the results of which the Tory party has refused to release the so-called Russia Report.
The Tory party is complicit in much of Russia's belligerance because they worship greed and money more than the national interest. Rather like Trump they've all been bought by Russia and shamelessly taken forms of finance from there.
Go back and look at all their admiration for Putin's power over his own people. The hideaway Mercers funded much of the gang of billionaires who have been responsible for all the social media brainwashing, they are all complicit in trying to change our democracies into nationalist neo-fascist states. All to become more authoritarian and to de-regulate anything that gets in the way of their free market. The environment, food standards, hygiene, no matter, profit takes precedence.
These maniacs must ALL be stopped, not just Putin, but Trump, Johnson, Farage, Banks, the Mercers.
