We all need to step back a minute
Putin attacked us. He used his (cyber) military to do it. That is not a question. Responsible people know this to be fact. It is not in dispute.
Putin is an ex KGB Colonel and FSB Director. He runs the largest Mafia style criminal organization on the planet and Trump is kissing his ass at every opportunity.
Putin (not unlike Trump) has one concern. Making himself as rich and powerful as possible and he has destroyed the nascent democracy that came out of the collapse of the Soviet Union. And part of making himself more powerful is making Russia a global power . That means reconstituting the Soviet Empire and of course using KGB tactics and military force to do it
That is NOT in our interest. In fact Putin sees our country as an enemy and he uses that to rile up the populace. He also see our President as a "friend". A friend he helped gain power.
How convenient to have a friend as President of the country you see as an enemy huh?
And guess what? Every responsible person understands that the attacks our elections (and OUR democracy) are ongoing and increasing.
The Dem House passed legislation to try and combat that. The GOP Senate won't even take up a vote on that legislation.
Trump is doing nothing and saying nothing.
We have a problem folks
