Recently Senator Rand Paul publicly said that Russian election meddling wasn’t a big deal because “we all do it.” I agree with Dr. Paul on a great many things, including the fact that the Obama Administration had been too hesitant and hadn’t done enough to stop Russian aggression, but to imply that what the Russians did in 2016 was no big deal because all countries meddle in others’ political affairs, shows a lack of understanding of the depth and breadth of Russian meddling.
