    Everyone attacks everyone's elections. We attack every election Russia has ever had.

    Hell, we are so attacking elections in Syria we are bombing, assassinating, attacking, and killing Syrians and have turned the country into a murderous civil war - that's how much WE meddle into other country's elections.

    In my humble opinion, only true IDIOTS give ANY credence to this stunning claim of Russia trying to affect our elections - which is as certain as we try to affect Russia's elections as certain as the sun rising tomorrow.

    Now, if you can show evidence of Russia bombing Hilary Clinton political headquarters, armed Republicans with military weapons to attack and kill everyone at any Clinton event, and had special forces teams killing Clinton staffers - things we do as I post this to try to affect Syria's and other countries election - then you can talk to be about Russian interference in our elections.

    Do you think outright lying wins your issue? Neither Georgia nor Ukraine were or are members of NATO and neither are an ally. Your message is an outright lie.

    Kuwait wasn’t a member of NATO in 1990.

    Georgia isn’t an ally? I guess an enemy sent troops to fight alongside ours in Iraq.

    Why are members of Trump's fan club Russian sympathizers?

    To answer your question, no one has said Americans have to hate Russia, but many Americans do oppose Russia's aggression in Ukraine and her annexation of Crimea. They also don't approve of Russia's support of the murderous Syrian dictator and the fact that Russia is Iran's main weapons supplier and supplier of nuclear equipment.

    Oh, than there is the little matter of Russia's interference in our Presidential election.

    That is all very real not some wild conspiracy theory like "Obama's stinkin' Rotten Swamp" or "Obama's Deep State."

    How have we attacked Russian elections? I can't find any information online backing this up. Syria is basically a dictatorship and doesn't have real elections.

    We know the Russians attacked our elections based on intelligence collected by the CIA and FBI and they have even named individuals involved and what exactly they did.

    Let's quit screwin' around already.I can prove how today's
    Left and Democrats are Scum..I have no absolute facts as to
    Russian Collusion or Hacking our Election.The Left had more than
    enough time to give those facts.
    We are supposed to just take it as fact because The entirety of
    the Democrats Insist it's fact.Oh ! You mean like how Democrats
    also insisted that the Tea Party was violent or bordering on Violence.
    Every time a shooting occurred it was blamed FIRST on the Tea Party.
    But in the end the Tea Party Never used Violence,even once.
    Save a Rand Paul rally where some freaky girl attempted to
    walk up to Paul as he was getting out of his car to present him with
    some mock award.That's it folks.All those Tea Party Rally's and Town
    Halls and not a single act of Violence.Yet the Dems kept up the notion
    the Tea Party was surely violent.
    Flat out lie meant to normalize the notion that the Tea Party is
    capable of Violence.
    Same exact crap here folks.Same dagburn thing.It's what the Left and
    the Democrats do.Like the way they constantly used the words Extremist
    and Obstructionist to identify the Republicans.
    Folks you are being Stooged.
    It's really not rocket science,either.Just American scum doing
    what they know best.Acting Unamerican and Lying.
    I doubt many Russians here stateside act Unamerican and lie.
    Wake Up Amereica.Stop letting scum call the shots.

    Wikileaks documents proved the FBI hacks computers and posts online using software to make it appear as if Russia is doing it. This has NEVER even been denied by the FBI. Thus, since we KNOW the FBI's POLICY is to lie and accuse Russia for what it does, there is 100% reason to NOT believe the FBI - since lying about Russia and creating fake evidence against Russia to cover up their own misdeeds is not even disputed by the FBI.

    Most Americans are understandably shocked by what they view as an unprecedented attack on our political system. But intelligence veterans, and scholars who have studied covert operations, have a different, and quite revealing, view.

    the dean of American intelligence scholars, who began his career in the 1970s investigating the C.I.A. as a staff member of the Senate’s Church Committee, says Russia’s 2016 operation was simply the cyber-age version of standard United States practice for decades, whenever American officials were worried about a foreign vote.

    “We’ve been doing this kind of thing since the C.I.A. was created in 1947,” said Mr. Johnson, now at the University of Georgia. “We’ve used posters, pamphlets, mailers, banners — you name it. We’ve planted false information in foreign newspapers. We’ve used what the British call ‘King George’s cavalry’: suitcases of cash.”

    The United States’ departure from democratic ideals sometimes went much further. The C.I.A. helped overthrow elected leaders in Iran and Guatemala in the 1950s and backed violent coups in several other countries in the 1960s. It plotted assassinations and supported brutal anti-Communist governments in Latin America, Africa and Asia.

    But in recent decades, both Mr. Hall and Mr. Johnson argued, Russian and American interferences in elections have not been morally equivalent. American interventions have generally been aimed at helping non-authoritarian candidates challenge dictators or otherwise promoting democracy. Russia has more often intervened to disrupt democracy or promote authoritarian rule, they said.

    This broader history of election meddling has largely been missing from the flood of reporting on the Russian intervention and the investigation of whether the Trump campaign was involved. It is a reminder that the Russian campaign in 2016 was fundamentally old-school espionage, even if it exploited new technologies. And it illuminates the larger currents of history that drove American electoral interventions during the Cold War and motivate Russia’s actions today.

    A Carnegie Mellon scholar, Dov H. Levin, has scoured the historical record for both overt and covert election influence operations. He found 81 by the United States and 36 by the Soviet Union or Russia between 1946 and 2000, though the Russian count is undoubtedly incomplete.

    For the US is a world leader in the field of intervening in the internal affairs of other countries. The alleged interference is far more extensive than hacking into emails belonging to unfavoured political parties. According to research by political scientist Dov Levin, the US and the USSR/Russia together intervened no less than 117 times in foreign elections between 1946 and 2000, or “one out of every nine competitive, national-level executive elections”.

    A good point which cuts to the main argument: those who support democracy and freedom vs. the authoritarians who seek to dictate how people live, think and what they believe.

    People who support or side with the Russians are either fools or active agents of the Russians against Western ideals.

    Neither the Democratic Party, or the NSA nor CIA or FBI nor Mueller not the MSM give a DAMN about election interference:

    Russia behaved badly, but hacking emails which put a candidate in a poor light is much different than manipulating election results. The latter would be extremely serious, threatening a genuinely vital American interest, in free and fair elections. For that reason the controversy should act as Thomas Jefferson’s famous “fire bell in the night” and force states in particular to improve election security. Imagine the constitutional crisis if Moscow had changed the election outcome.

    Of course, hacking the campaign still was illegal and improper. Nevertheless, it didn’t undermine the election process. After all, revealing hidden truths about one of the candidates actually increased voter knowledge. The method was wrong, but the result was positive. In fact, Ukraine engaged in a more limited and less intrusive effort on behalf of Hillary Clinton, mostly researching and disseminating embarrassing information about the Trump campaign.

    Find ANY thread, ANY Democratic Party or DC rant, ANY concern of Mueller or Congress politicians or the MSM giving a damn about Ukraine's efforts on behalf of Hilary Clinton.

    You won't, because the outrage is 100% fake!

    Yeah, we support DEMOCRACIES like Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Qatar. (Get real!)

    We don't support Democracies. We DESTROYED democracies in South and Central America on behalf of American corporations.

    Besides, the Democratic Party has declared Western ideals to be EVIL - the greatest evils in the history of humanity.
