Saying that it influenced the election isn't the same as saying that it is solely responsible for the outcome, don't be disingenuous.



Then maybe the author would do well not to frame it as such by avoiding lines like "one of the greatest foreign operations in decades"


Why? Not unilaterally deciding the US presidential election isn't mutually exclusive with "one of the greatest foreign operations in decades". I might disagree with their assessment, but Russia did influence the election and someone could at least attempt the argument that it was "one of the greatest foreign operations in decades"


To be fair, cosmic rays also influenced the election. The degree of influence is unknown however.
