#33Fun fact, many, many other foreign governments have "interfered" in our elections also. In addition the US has interfered in their elections as well. Its been happening for a very long time.
The point of these warnings is not to say "oh gosh it happens whatever" or "we need to launch the ICBMs directly at Moscow right now." The point is to gird the public so that they know the manipulation is happening and can try to compensate for it. There is a lot of denial about this interference happening out there (please do not make me link to it, it's five seconds on Google) and people who are in denial about thi…
This is essentially what Estonia does I believe. They for years have been making it clear to their citizens that factions outside of its nations borders are directly trying to manipulate their elections.

#35I thought the title was supposed to be 'Putin's Chief'. Read the article, it's actually his chef, FYI.

I'm still betting on a premature death, but never say never. Castro retired.
Castro was sick to the point of being unable to function, right?
That's my understanding. I think Putin would probably get killed if he found himself similarly weakened, but that's not certain. Assuming he's not killed, he'll get old and weak too eventually.

#39Frankly, I'm shocked. The US would never do such a thing and to discover that others may want to influence american politics for their benefit is astonishing.
