Frankly it's ridiculous that the EU and other US allies aren't doing more to fight back against the ongoing assault on the American public. It's in their national security interests for the American government to moderate and move left. I don't understand why they aren't at least funding left media.
Their media has been pretty good at conveying the threat to their own people. Honestly if they just translated those articles into English they would go a long way.
US based here. With business friends from Germany who send us news clips from Germany that are far more dire than our own local former papers of record.
Frankly, I think they got very comfortable under the aegis of the American military and were happy letting the American right do its thing as long as they kept the military funded and armed. And now it's backfiring and they're caught flat-footed.
Honestly now that SCOTUS has removed almost all corruption laws I'm surprised France or Germany doesn't try to just "buy" our government. It would only cost like one billion total.
Seriously like if you can corruptly fund the Republicans like this how is the rest of the liberal west not funding Anti-Republican efforts to this degree?!
The moment of realization at GRU headquarters when they realize that you can get Americans to believe literally anything if you launder it through conspiracy influencers.
It was easy, movement conservatives built an anti-democratic infrastructure for their Powell Memo fueled dreams of power. They worked on it for decades and were close to the payoff of their dreams.
All the Russian political technologists had to do was hop in, grab the wheel, and gun it.
The EU has no meaningful intelligence apparatus that could pull it off. I used to live behind the BND. They all went home at 5pm the day before Russia invaded Ukraine. I could watch the office lights going out through the windows.

Also, the BND is a special case where leaders knew they had Russian moles but never acted against them
