We cannot tell whether the Russians have something to do with Wikileaks or emails being hacked. Yes, it is true that Donald Trump expressed a wish for this and so it happened but this could be a coincidence. Furthermore, we should have a higher standard than an unsupported claim by Hillary Clinton that Putin is attempting to meddle in the American presidential election. There is, however, one good reason to believe Putin wants Trump in the White House. Think for a moment what chaos would be caused to have such a crude, rude, narcissistic loudmouth braggart in the Oval Office. The military would not know from one day to the next what maniacal orders might be given by Trump. The man would have his finger on the nuclear button and no one could oppose him then. The system of checks and balances would grind to a halt because Trump would bully anyone who expresses a different opinion. There would, in fact, be a dictator in the White House and put there with a mandate to do as he wishes by ignorant voters. Indeed, Putin knows that Trump will bring down the whole edifice of American government. What glee must be about the Kremlin these days.
