“Can you prove that this guy is telling the truth?”

Hard to prove one way or another based on what is know tbh.

However common sense would tell you that Russia likes Trump because Biden is tight with Ukrainians, whereas Trump as mentioned has no problem with making “deals” as long as it makes him look good. Russia is more likely to get away with their land grab under Trump than Biden. No doubt about it at all. So yes it would be in their interest to “influence” the election for Trumps benefit.

If Trump ever signals he is willing to trade land for peace with Russia he will lose my vote. I will write in DeSantis.

The Media-Dem Party is laying the groundwork for claiming “Russian Collusion” just in case their fraud operation fails to keep them in power.

All the Ukraine propaganda pimps want the democrats to win so America will be forced to keep paying for or sending our own to die for that corrupt dump that the Uniparty has created to use as a prostitute for their illegal activities and foreign imperialism for the NWO via NATO.

It is they who are interfering in our elections.

So what if some Russians participated in conservative forums? Trivial compared to foreigners attempts to help the Democrats.

<>Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire; foreign aid billions threatened
<>Kiev scrambles to make amends with president-elect Trump after working to boost Clinton.
<>President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, and the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the presidential race.

Donald Trump wasn’t the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country.

A Politico investigation found
<><>Ukrainian govt officials helped Hillary and trashed Trump, questioning his fitness for office.
<><>They disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption
<><>They suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election.
<><>They helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.

A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.

The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia. But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails.

Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services, according to U.S. intelligence officials. They reportedly briefed Trump last week on the possibility that Russian operatives might have compromising information on the president-elect. And at a Senate hearing last week on the hacking, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said “I don’t think we’ve ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than we’ve seen in this case.”

There’s little evidence of such a top-down effort by Ukraine. Longtime observers suggest that the rampant corruption, factionalism and economic struggles plaguing the country — not to mention its ongoing strife with Russia — would render it unable to pull off an ambitious covert interference campaign in another country’s election.

And President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, along with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the race.

Cmon now Crankypoo,

You know that Putin would LUUUUVVV to have Trump win so Trump can let him get away with his land grab!

So why would it be not surprising that Russia would influence our elections by cheerleading Trump?

The fact that Putin wants Trump tells me more about Trump than Putin.

But I will give a benefit of a doubt to Trump until I hear his position on Putins land grab. If he thinks Russia should get away with it as part of a deal, well DeSantis it is!

I don’t speak Russian so I don’t know what he said and in what context he said it. If it’s being reported on ABC and Politico is reporting on the ease of hacking voting machines, it all sounds suspicious.

I’m not too concerned about some Russian posting crap on Facebook. In 2016 they spent about $100,000 on Facebook ads and staged a few “demonstrations”. Don’t fall for “Russian Collusion” 2.0.

Yes the influence is probably not much, but I would conclude they are rooting for Trump. I dont want to be on any side Russia is on. I hope Trump unequivocally states his support of Ukraines territorial boundry. If he does not, expect the Dems to bash him over it.

You are nothing more than an FR NAFO DU propaganda peddling cancerous troll, along with your other NAFO DU propaganda peddling cancerous cohorts.

To your limited understanding, you fail to realize that you have been exposed, as has RevMom, etc. Bet.

“This is of course great nonsense. Prigozhin remarks did not admit anything but were pure sarcasm.”

And you plague infected DU rejects and propaganda peddlers ran with it like you do anything else that serves your propaganda purposes.

Moronic Idiots.
