Did the Russians Really Want Trump to Win?
I’m going to be a contrarian here and say maybe. Maybe the Russians wanted Trump to win.
Put yourself in their shoes and think about a Hitlery win. I assume the Russians have decent intel and would know that Hitlery planned to start a shooting war. How could that be good for Russia? (I don’t think it would, but I’m open to arguments that would change my mind.)
Another point to remember is that Russia likely has factions just like the US and the rest of the world. I’d bet there are factions that were pro-Trump and pro-HRC within Russia. So at the very least, Russia can’t be treated as some monolithic block.
Regardless, it is still my opinion that “Trump conspired with Russia to win” is a baseless and ridiculous charge.
Just my 2 cents and with very limited knowledge of world politics.
