Well we just had a presidential election if not decided, certainly influenced by this same group, I can't think of a better thing to spend taxpayer money on than ensuring that elections are free from interference.

Do you know the size of the Russian economy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Russia

How many individual US states have an economy larger than Russia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_between_U.S._states...

And the size of the PR industry? https://www.statista.com/topics/3521/public-relations/

We invented the modern PR industry, AI, and social media. That's our bailiwick.

You think Russia outclassed us at our own game, at home on our own platforms, on the biggest stage, in the highest stakes game of all?

That would be like the Russian basketball team [0] beating the US Dream Team [1] in all of our major sports at once. Not gonna happen.

I wonder if you know how silly your comment reads?
Tell me JohnJamesRambo. How so?
