Successful penetration of Russian malicious interests into the American politics will probably lead the way to a much deeper impact than visible war efforts, even if only longer term. Politicians like those alleging "tax payers" protection (what other thing, second to religion, sells better to Americans?) are the cancer that will consume from inside. Slowly and surely. 2024 will then see the malignancy taking place to no recoverable state, probably, if Putin gets to survive in place until then.
