Thanks Gunter,


That's what's so funny and ironic. The country that has done the greatest meddling and manipulating by several orders of magnitude and over numerous decades is the US. 

Suddenly people's memories of all the wars and political unrest in the Middle East that the US either caused or got wrapped up in............has vanished.  What do they think the Vietnam war was about?

But that is just the obvious stuff.  There are thousands of secret elements at this very moment designed to influence the state of affairs in hundreds of countries in any way possible so it lines up with US objectives. 

Ignoring that and focusing on Russia as a freak abberation and some sort of unjustified attack on the US(when we have done more of it than them) is absurd and meant as a marketing scheme to impose a belief that allows for perpetrating a scheme which needs this mischaracterization as one of its assumptions.

If the Russian elections are rigged, why would we even bother to  interfere ?
