> If Russia (as a country) wants to spread destabilizing propaganda that might weaken another nation, I don't think it's the "right" guaranteed by free speech.

Your definition of what might 'weaken another nation' is your own and doesn't represent the views of everyone in the country. Just because something might deflate your nationalistic commie-hating boner or whatever doesn't mean it should be banned.

I don't get to personally ban anything. I'm just a private individual whose only contribution to political debate is HN.

Elected representatives do get to take action against foreign state actors that they determine are 'weakening the nation'.
