As well too remember the point where the Ruble Fell Sharply and their oil revenue dropped sharply.... They were "furious" and they send their money around the world in the "dirty money cycle" trying to preserve value in their wealth holding.
Trump benefited greatly long before his run for office. When there was no other viable legal means for him to have gotten money.
It was Russian Money that he and many others tapped into. He became vocally a Russian advocate and the more he advocated the more money Russian put into his properties.
But at the same time, the long game, is to weaken America, and the best way to do it is to feed into the racist divisions that rose up to a fever pitch during the election of Obama, and the economic Devastation left behind by Bush. It was a perfect recipe for Russians to rush in and feed discord, especially through the white males and the rural red states white people.
The polls showed overwhelmingly how white males voted Republican and Voted for Trump, and even with the madness of abuse of women, the white women chose to vote Republican. Then there's Hillary, who would not stand down to Putin's antics, the aim to tarnish her was in overdrive, first with the Benghazi, and then about something as minor and insidious as emails.
They played the gullibility of Americans to fall for "drama antics" and forget the long history of works by Clinton. Besides she was a "woman", that did not sit well with the historically male dominance ideals that is pervasive in Right Wing society.
We better get smarter and stop running from the truths that we see and know... many may skip right past this thread, yet as democrats they know there is Russian interference, yet, won't engage to expand and expound on their thoughts so others who may come upon this site, can have narrative and content to arouse and inspire them to become more aware.
Such acts do not help us.... But, I'll keep writing anyway, hopefully those new people who venture upon this site can be inspired to expound and spread public conversational narratives.
