I will not say anything as to the accuracy of the charges, but I will say this. Nothing has historically hampered, hindered and destroyed Russia's Geopolitical position more then collapses in the price of oil.


Consider that, and then take into consideration Russia's meddling in foreign elections to produce perceived favorable results for Russia, it is not too big a stretch that Russia would try and also meddle to produce policies that would keep the price of oil high as well as Russia's oil market share high as well.

Amazed at the hatred for the green movement in the US

I'm not sure people are saying environmentalists and other anti-fracking groups would knowingly take the money, just that Russia could indeed be funneling money to the groups secretly. Personally, I'm supportive of many of these anti-fracking efforts but at the same time I wouldn't put it beneath Russia to covertly direct funding to some groups if they thought it might help their cause.

If one thing has been drawn attention to lately, its Russia's ability to funnel money into various places without people realizing.

The same way they have a knack for compromising people without them realizing it until it is too late.
