It's hardly "Russophobia" when Russia is literally paying local operatives to destabilize the political landscape across Europe.

That's just another form of imperialism. What Russia can't take through bribery, extortion or coercion, they will destroy by undermining people's trust in society.

And then they play the victim, when local governments uncover these plots and take actions to prevent them. It's as transparently disingenuous as any CIA operation.
