Russian Meddling in other things too

The Russians seem to have found a formula for attacking any plans to make their lives more difficult, even in places where most of the world has been less forceful.  Take the case of little Montenegro which is joining NATO, in spite of a campaign by Russia to keep them out and have their own politicos in place there.  They are blamed by Montenegro's government for an attempted coup in October and probably doing much more than that.  When Putin looks West, he sees more than the Ukraine in his reach.  He sounds more and more like China when he talks about his future.

The Telegraph says the coup was to result in the assassination of Milo Djukanovic the sitting President.  This comes from sources in Whitehall. The team of Russians included people from Russian intelligence, but also may have included a for-hire CIA alumnus.  The Russians were trying to make it look like the US was involved.

These guys are spending a lot of time and effort trying to influence world events by some very nasty methods.  We need to look closer at what they are continuing to do in the United States and not just the current focus on what the Trump campaign may have been doing.  There are not enough political sanctions to deal with the kinds of things they may be up to.
