Pot calling the Kettle black. We do this all over the world. Look at the last Israeli elections where obama had all kinds of $$$ and verbal support for Ben’s opposition.
I am of the belief that Trump will go down in history as a great president, and he has handled Middle Eastern affairs as best as he can given the circumstances. He is no Obama/Clinton/Bush Sr./Jr...and praise be to God he is also no Putin.
Our interference in foreign politics should not be swept under the rug while calling out Russia,
It is much more honorable to admit its SOP and start making guidelines on what is allowed and the penalties for overstepping and then hold to those terms ourselves in foreign countries.
If we intend to keep spying and sending money & aid to support our preferred candidates abroad we should stop acting as though Russia is such a bad actor.
