Putin did *not* exploit American tribalism, or American lack of civics knowledge.
He surely did, and continues to exploit American tribalism and American lack of civics knowledge.
In fact the FSA has been doing just that for the last 15 years or so.
Russian disinformation exploits the cracks in American culture. They make no bones about doing so.
Bibi has never done it either.
Of course he has, and continues to do so, going so far as to align himself with one American political party and to call those who rang the bell on his doing so- "anti-semites".

And where they make a desert, they call it "peace" Tacitus.

That's the defining battle of our generation.
