The Russia Investigation (and why it is really important)

The Russia Investigation (and why it is really important)

The following is a post about Politics.  You have been warned.

For some (CNN) the Russia investigation is all about how to get rid of Donald Trump.  Meh.  They are missing out on the real impetus for investigating Russia.  Donald Trump is just a cover for the State Department and the CIA to figure out how The Russians interfered in our elections so affordably and without assassinating anyone. The Russians have achieved a feat that American ingenuity has failed to achieve for over 60 years!  A bloodless and affordable means of interfering in a sovereign nations internal affairs.

Let’s face it, America has been the preeminent meddler in other nations’ internal affairs and elections.  There was poor Diem the leader of South Vietnam who was killed in 1963 with the help of the CIA.  There is also the Shah of Iran, who was put into power by the U.S.A.  In all seriousness, the list goes on and on.  Who even knows or has kept track of our meddling in the continent of Africa!  Or, the Middle East… because meddling in elections is best done after subjugating a country and occupying it with several thousand soldiers.

I still chuckle a little when I hear “serious people” complain about Russia meddling in our elections.  This is not because I do not take such actions seriously, but because when former directors of the CIA lodge complaints: all I hear is the pot calling the kettle black.

Yes, the U.S.A. needs to work on securing our elections from foreign involvement.  At the same time, it would be nice if we returned the favor to the world.
