The Russians were seriously afraid of Hillary winning, so they went all out for Trump.
Speaking of 'clueless'. You SERIOUSLY have no idea how 'Counter-Intelligence Ops' work, that is obvious.
Putin and the Russians did not give a DAMN who won. Their goal, the goal of a 'Counter-Intelligence Op' is to create division and chaos, to undermine the legitimacy of individuals and governments. That's what they did.
Evidence shows Russia ran a military-style Op using Social media to SUCCESSFULLY get snowflakes like you to organize and actually march for them.
Evidence shows Russia successfully paid willing liberal groups like Antifa, BLM, and the Black Fist to spread racial division and violence.
Evidence shows the Russians acquired access to the DNC and Hillary's e-mails and exposed the FACT that she and the DNC manipulated the 2016 election by rigging primaries, cheating in debates, and engaging in election fraud...as well as violating both election and campaign finance laws.
- WHY would they do this? To Help Trump? HELL NO! They, like everyone else, expected Hillary to WIN! By releasing all of this information, though, they have just created an argument for the other side to do what Democrats are doing now - to claim that the winner, Hillary, is an
'illegitimate President who rigged and cheated her way into the WH'. The SEED was planted just in case she won.
They have done the same thing with Trump, although Obama and his exposed Conspiratorial administration made it easy for Putin's pals by running their own 'Counter-Intelligence Op' (Strzok's specialty) against Trump to make him look like an 'illegitimate President who won because of illegal Russian Collusion'.
DIVISION - Check
CHAOS - Check
No mater who wins, a divided nation over the legitimacy of the win - Check
Putin hates the US every bit as much as Iran, North Korea, China, etc...he's no one's friend. The fact that snowflakes like you can't wrap your head around an enemy 'Counter-Intelligence Op' designed to bring the US govt to a grinding halt because of massive internal bickering and division is a testament to how partisan this nation has become, how much the 2 sides hate each other so much that they can't actually see who is really playing them.
To claim the EX-KGB master is as simple and simple-minded enough to simply pick one favorite US candidate over another and work to help them win is an insult to his intelligence, to his KGB Background, and to his master plan / design to twist the US like a ringer, getting it fighting amongst itself.
Putin is old school and he remembers the quote / 'prophecy' - 'No outside nation will ever bring down the United States, It will topple from within.'
THAT is what this has been all about.
Time to see the FOREST, not miss the forest for the trees.
