So are you defending Russia's (evidently successful) attempt to change leadership in America? We should overlook the whole thing and drop sanctions and open backdoor communications on their servers as proposed by Kushner?Find me one Libyan neighbor-country or one sane person in the United States who thinks we were better off leaving Qhadaffi in power.1. Name a foreign election in which we have interfered
2. Provide the official rationale for doing so
3. Provide personal opinion on why we did it, insofar as that opinion diverges from official rationale
4. Judge whether the intervention had an outcome either favorable or unfavorable to the interests of the United States
Who says we wait for an election to interfere with another nation's leadership? Ask Kaddhafi how that works.
That's irrelevant. The fact is, we violently change the leadership of other countries if we want to.
Nope, merely pointing out that nations always try to influence the leadership of other nations, trying to get one more favorable to themselves. America is the big dog on the block, so I fully expect EVERY nation to do whatever they can to influence our elections. Thus, it doesn't surprise me that Russians bought FB ads. It wouldn't surprise me either if we found out China routed money to Hillary through back door channels or hacked her unsecured private email server and were ready to use what they found for blackmail. Sure, it would be great if all the nations of the world would play nice, link arms and sing Kumbaya, but they don't. All we can do is secure our stuff the best we can and stop relying on FB ads for political information.
