I wonder if the fact that we did nothing emboldened them to push it even farther and start really fucking with our elections. I'm sure they messed with them before but I doubt on the same scale as last election.
Did nothing in regards to what exactly? They were heavily sanctioned with the Magnitsky Act and again after Ukraine/Crimea.
Those heavy sanctions really disparaged them from fucking with the US.
If I recall didn't Russia pretty much laugh off the sanctions because it targeted a few individual people? That was one round of sanctions that I recall anyway, don't remember what it was in response to.

The best way to deal with Russia is to fuck with their money. Putin has been trying to claw back the Magnitsky Act sanctions since they were put in place and keep it from spreading to other countries.
