#1 I do not think Putin really thinks we did that.

It does provide cover for when he essentially does what he's accusing us of, under the guise of "fighting the oligarchs."

Misinformation isn't what Putin's government suffers from, it's what they _do_.

#7 I'm sure the guys in the KGB have the goods on Bush and are unlikely to be using any contemporary Microsoft Word. Does Cyrillic on a manual superscript?
