Yes, big nations tries to influence other nations often also in clandestine ways. Russia was famous for this during the Cold War. Less is told and remembered about what USA did against also supposedly friendly nations. This practice is still going on, and in Denmark we very well remember how USA tapped the Copenhagen Climate Summit. Leaked NSA documents suggests the NSA were spying on Denmark, and there are very good reasons to believe that the failure of the Copenhagen talks was in part due to a information war directed by the US government against other negotiators.
It's very OK to be unhappy about other nations clandestine operations in your country. But your outrage seems hypocritical to foreigners, until you start cleaning up your own game abroad - both under Republican and Democratic governments.
And your focus on Putin as the main villain for why this election was lost by the Democrats, is undermining your own political systems much more than he could ever be clever enough to do. Your system is not that fragile, so please stop claiming that it is. Most of the damage was done by normally patriotic U.S. citizens, who just wanted that Trump guy to win. Many people did weird stuff, and you have crazy people enough inside your country to get that president, you got.
Clean up your own system - and yes, do also send an angry letter to Putin. But do not feed him power by believing he has the strength to elect your presidents!
