Fact is, it was the *democrats* who substantially strengthened Putin’s hand, as they (the democrats) nearly took apart *our own* defenses. Russia is in the process of basically reforming the Soviet Union, and then-some when you include positions in the strategic Middle East.
They (the dems) are notoriously weak on defense, in complete contrast to Trump-Pence who have pledged a major military rebuilding. Despite all the smoke and mirror BS, there is no sane reason on earth for the Ukraine to have preferred a democrat administration vs a republican/Trump-Pence one as they are being seriously threatened by Russia. Likewise, Russia preferring Trump over Hillary.
There was no “ democrat” or “ republican” strategic choice
The choice was “ globalism” ( which is a uniparty) vs “ nationalism” ( Trump and 63 million MAGA voters)
Putin is not in favor with the globalists - in fact is a primary target
Having Hillary in the WH would have meant having a weak, sick, corrupt, incompetent and totally compromised woman controlled by Soros and globalism - which is dedicated to the economic and social / moral destruction of the USA
Sure Russia would had leverage ( ie blackmail) over Hillary with her vile greedy immoral persona and extensive political corruption
i have no idea whether the Russians had the gut instinct we did about polling fakery and voter fraud as the intended means for the globalists to install the Hut in the WH
Meanwhile China Saudi Arabia and Pakistan all sit on their haunches and remain under the radar of collusion investigation for activities they engaged in to affect our elections - all of them far greater threats to America than “ Russia”
