I'm not sure what their end game is.
_If helping Candidate Trump was their goal, it appears to have bitten them on the ass. I don't think that they will list President Trump as one of their best friends ever to hold the office.
_If weakening NATO was their goal, it appears to have bitten them on the ass. Since it appears that our NATO allies may actually pony up more of their budget to self-defense
_If shaking our faith in our government process was their goal, they seriously underestimated our cynicism. Americans have always been deeply distrustful of government.
_If weakening our faith in our institutions was their goal, they seriously underestimated our cynicism, Americans have always bitched about our institutions.
Anybody else got any ideas what they hope to gain?

SrA John Monette - So you think President Trump is a Russian puppet? Can you point to actions where he has put the Russian people ahead of the American people, or are you just engaging sardonic hyperbole?

I think he is the biggest puppet Putin has. he constantly discounts any report of Russian interference in our elections.

SrA John Monette - Words... what has President Trump other than words, that has weakened us relative to Russia?
Has he removed missile defense system from Poland and the Czech Republic, without a single concession?
Did he tell Prime Minister Medvedev that he would be more flexible AFTER the election. In essence saying he had to hide his true intent to get elected.
Did he allow Russia to annex Ukrainian territory in with such pathetically weak US response that Russia took a second bite at the apple?
I invite you to look at the national Security Policy of 2017
Plus President Trump shut down the Russian Consulate in San Francisco and declared the diplomats persona non gratis
President Trump has not rolled back a single sanction against Russia and has enacted more.
President Trump requested and got a 40% increase in the European Reassurance Initiative to strengthen the defensive posture of allies bordering Russia and increased both the number of US forces in Europe, and received the blessing to permanently station US troops and to conduct joint training exercises with nation's that declined to do so in the past.

Don’t rehabilitate Obama on Russia
We should not slip into collective amnesia over the Obama administration’s weak and underwhelming response to Russian aggression.

In the risk, cyber, and information security world, it’s also called spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). Good way to evoke a response from those less in the know.
