Oh the horrors! Whatever shall we do?

WASHINGTON — Intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get President Trump re-elected, five people familiar with the matter said, a disclosure to Congress that angered Mr. Trump, who complained that Democrats would use it against him.
It seems the Entrenched Bureaucracy is intent on recycling the Russian Collusion Delusion from 2016 wit our illustrious Main Stream Media talking heads all screaming Russia, Russia, Russia!
I spent some time in Russia, a year in fact, when I was working we pursued various business opportunities there and I learned quite a lot about Russia.
I happen to respect the Russian people alot, they are hard working, love America and are very interesting, but,
They are a 3rd world country which offers no real threat.
So why are our hand wringing Liberals so up in arms about Russia?
Could it be just like in 2016 they know the candidates they have are as bad as the Hildabeast was?
Our illustrious Intelligence Agencies are obssesed with Russia, why?
Let's compare:
America:
The US has the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world.
Population: 328 million
2019 GDP: $21.5 trillion ranks 1st in the world.
Per capita GDP: $65,548
Russia:
Population: 145 million
2019 GDP: $1.7 trillion ranks 11th in the world behind Canada, Italy and Brazil!
Per capita GDP: $11,806
So they are less than half our population, 12th in GDP and their per capita GDP is 1/6th ours.
They are a regional power, they have no Blue Water Navy to speak of, their Air Force again can not be projected world wide and thier army is regional.
Sure they have nuclear capability, but so what? they want no real face to face confrontation with a Superpower.
I happen to agree with President Trump, we should be talking with them and setting up trade and other deals with them and get them involved in western capitalism.
Like I said I spent some time there, let's look at a few glimpses of Russia:
Samara: We did renovations to an Aluminum Plant there:
This is the "Luxury" hotel I stayed at in Samara. I had to run the water for 30 mins to get it to clear and get hot before I could shower.
Dinner menu was limited at times due to shortages and costs.
Moscow: We maintained an office here to deal with their Bureaucracy!
In downtown Moscow the streets stay frozen over, sidewalks are at times unwalkable, yet the poor Russians stomp thru the drifts and frozen snow.
Shopping at time was limited to sortages and of course costs. It is an expensive city filled with homeless.
Power at times is intermittent because of snow and cold. Look at that technology.
Now if you read the Government reports about Russian election interference, it says Russian enities spent less than a half million dollars on ads and such to interfere. Really?
Folks, the Hildabeast spent nearly 400 million dollars on social media and ads, she spent 1.5 billion dollars on her 2016 campaign.
Trump spent 20 million dollars on social media and ads and his campaign financial records show they spent less than 300 million to win.
I needed no commercial, no social media forum or any ad to know I despised Hillary Clinton. I have known since 1986 she was a vile, conniving shrew of a woman.
So, why does our Intelligence Agencies fear Russia?
What say you?
Just an update: This was one of their "Executive Washrooms"
