Since the end of WWII, the U.S. has meddled in foreign elections, mostly to stifle the spread of communism (e.g. Italy, Spain, Chile, etc.,) and to also benefit western economic interests (e.g. Iran.)
But, what does that really tell us?
Simple answer is that we meddled NOT to ultimately and altruistically "benefit" the foreign country's interests, but to benefit OUR interests (and that of our allies.)
So, when reviewing Putin and Russia's meddling in our past (and probably, future) elections, what makes ANYONE think that such meddling does anything BUT benefit Russia???
.....and if one reaches the same conclusion, should we wonder how helping to elect Trump is tantamount as helping Russia???
So much for MAGA hats.....
