Being critical of Russia meddling would yield nothing. In reality It would mar Trumps victory. It’s essentially acknowledging that hey guys, they meddled and maybe I️ won because they meddled. It’s absolutely retarded to admit It even if It happened and even if he knew about or conspired with Russia to do so. If he did this then the logical progression would be for some to challenge his win on legal grounds and try to take away the win based on that meddling. You have really bad common sense bro.
You have a child’s understanding of how international politics work. Putin is not “on the hook” for this, and Trump has zero leverage over Putin over this alleged meddling. We’ve been hacking, interfering, spying for decades on anyone and everyone, even our citizens & allies. Now we got a taste of our own medicine and everyone is up in arms.
And let’s just clear the air on what this “meddling” is. It exposed the corrupt DNC and how the primary was rigged. As a US citizen idgaf if it’s Russia or North Korea or whomever else that exposes corruption in our country. I️ don’t care what their motives are what I️ care about is knowing the truth, in this case the fact that the DNC was corrupt and rightfully exposed.
Now you are making the same argument that liberals make, which is that the Russian meddling changed the outcome of the election. It may have, it may not have, it's not really relevant at this point. The idea that Trump acknowledging the Russian meddling will bring forth some legal challenge which will overturn the election is nonsensical.
Trump is president now... he should put his fragile ego aside and do what's best for the country. Putin is on the hook for the election meddling, that's why congress passed new sanctions against Russia. Whether the president believes Putin or not, reasonable people in Washington are going to hold Russia accountable.
Again, you simply aren't willing to acknowledge the difference between what the Russians did in 2016 and what every nation does in regards to spying or interfering in another country's affairs. The Russian interference wasn't limited to hacking emails.
I have a hard time understanding where you're coming from. You claim to want the US and Russia to have better relations... yet you applaud when they interfere in our election. That interference has just made US-Russia relations worse... and if they do it again in 2020, the relationship will continue to decline.
