Russia is a paper tiger when it comes to non-nuclear force projection. It benefits from being western intelligence scapegoat as even if they don't have the capabilities to say hack the DNC or a gas pipeline, it benefits them if people think they do. CIA and Russia have an arrangement.
Is Russia the bad guys they appear to be? No. Are they still bad guys working with the CIA when it benefits them? Yes. Russia will slowly seize land for itself or on behalf of their proxies. They seize large parts of Georgia (the country) under Bush for a proxy. They seized Crimea for themselves under Obama.
