    I know it is, what's your point? The Google CEO said the spent $4700 on Google. The Mueller indictment said $47,000 on all social media with about half going to Facebook. And that was enough to overcome the 90% negative coverage those social media and MSM gave to Trump and the billions spent by the DNC and Clinton campaigns?

    The POSTING/TROLLING was far worse - don't just look at the actual ADS they bought.

    My guess is because they knew the results of an election like this would rip the country apart. Mission accomplished.

    It would cause more disruption of the system if Trump was elected. They knew Republicans wouldn't riot it Hillary won, but they knew the dems would get all out of sorts if Trump won. The goal was instability of the system. That's why they gave info to both sides. If they thought Hillary's election would cause more disruption of our system, they would have supported Hillary. It didn't really matter who won, it mattered how much instability they could cause.

    As a Republican, I've wondered that since June 2015. Don't blame me, I voted against Trump twice--in the primary and in the general.

    That's what irritated me so much in November 2016--the Russians had compromised both sides. It was a win-win for them.

    It is ironic how much the liberals lambasted Romney for his view of the Russians. (He was right).

    The Soviet Union is no more, the USSR lost the Cold War and the Democrats blame Russians for Ronald Reagan winning the Cold War.

    RDS I suppose, (Russian Derangement Syndrome.)

    What posting and trolling that was far worse? Their campaign to post fake ads was MINUSCULE compared to the slants the social medias and MSM had AGAINST Trump and the billions spend by Democrat groups and how much did the DNC and Clinton campaign pay for the Russian dirt they tried to use to suppress votes for Trump?

    :rolleyes: My critique was aimed at successive US administrations, not Americans? In other words I didn't say that Americans are hypocrites did I?

    You need to stop coming into every thread that somehow deals with the Middle East and using it as soapbox to attack Muslims and Islam.

    Its obnoxious trolling and spamming.

    Obviously you have nothing and you're too lazy to check things out on your own, instead relying on what Trump, Hannity, Rush, Alex and the rest of the liars tell you. Ignorance is bliss.......and Putin is proud of you, almost as proud as he is of his useful idiot, Donald Trump.......

    After 13 years of Chancellor Merkel, most Germans propbably wished that the wall was never torn down.

    Maybe so. But at least they are not "repeating the mistake expecting different results."

    Makes one wonder why the Russians poured millions into the Clinton foundation while being unappreciative to Hillary for selling our uranium to them.
