All Russia cares about is sowing chaos and division among Americans.

Right and left can barely speak to each other, progressives and moderates tolerate barely each other sometimes.

look at the russian economy, based on fossil fuels.
look at the advantages russia will reap in a global warming world.

Russia doesn't want reduction in fossil fuels, russia doesn't want effective reversal of global warming.


the chaos and division are merely the cherry on top of the whipped cream.

in the primary sets up good chances for a Trump re-election.

Great, huh.

We're so screwn.

last ******* time

They care about the US leaving them alone in Ukraine
Us getting out of NATO
Us getting out of South Korea
Russia would like us out of Afghanistan
Getting out of Syria
Removing sanctions, especially the Magnitsky Act
Leaving them alone in the Arctic
Terminating our agreements with other developing nations so that they can fill the void left by our absence
Generally, weakening out international presence and authority
Not participating in climate action, so it gives them cover to do the same
Weakening out strong ties with European nations (See "NATO" above)

And probably a dozen other things Fiona Hill could explain to us.

I scanned other replies before posting some of that.

it's ridiculous to not recognize that.

Chaos is russians' and trump's preferred m.o.

All Russia cares about is getting their puppet elected (mission accomplished) and reelected (pending) so that he can continue to do Putin's bidding from our White House.

They will support whoever can help them accomplish that and attack whoever they view as an impediment to that.

The story may or may not even be true, as long as the GOP can say they told Sanders about it, and "leak" the story. Then, pretend to be outraged. Causes even more chaos in the Dems, casts more doubt on the elections, and will allow Trump to claim, in the event of a Sanders victory, that it's rigged and fake, and refuse to leave office.

Insidious, and the GOP is completely complicit in this treason. The whole bloody lot of 'em.

It wasn't the GOP, it was US intelligence sources.

Sanders also acknowledged that Russia was trying to interfere in the statement he released, so apparently he was convinced that there was evidence of same.

Conspiracy theories aren't required when reality isn't that complicated.

A difference without a distinction

One is true; one is false.

They’re supporting him to run against Trump because they think Trump will beat him.
