> Are you saying that countries don't really mess with other countries political systems? Because they do it all the time (including and maybe especially the US).

The interference that Russia has done is unprecedented in the modern era. There are dozens of election every year. Please provide some evidence of that extent of interfence happening "all the time".

Interference that Russia has done with its internet trolls is nothing compared to bombings and assassinations that US has been doing. If you look at South America you'd have to apply blacklist filter to see which countries US didn't mess with.

Fallacy: metawhataboutism

metawhataboutism: when hypocrisy is pointed out scream "whataboutism". It sounds like a fancy term and shuts down the other side pretty well.

I don't think this was whataboutism... The previous comment made a claim and he showed concrete evidence going against that claim.

Well, just in regards to Russia, the US managed to get a $10 billion lifeline to Yeltsin's government at a VERY convenient moment just months before the 1996 election.
