You are sitting comfortably … Trump is your man ... you must vote for him … you are relaxed ... you are getting sleepy ... Trumps hats are red … Russians love red … you will love Russians … you are getting more sleepy … your eyelids are heavy … you are more relaxed … you are even more sleepy … your eye lids are very heavy … 4 ... 3 … 2 … 1 … you are asleep … you are dreaming of gold plated toilets and smiling … we will send you free Beluga ... hurry ... limited time offer ... we are not Russian ... we don't know anyone named Vlad …

That is just one of the ways Russia might be trying to influence your election … lol …

On a serious note …

We spend huge money developing the internet. We encourage programs like Google, Facebook and Twitter. We develop websites with forums and encourage people from all over the world to participate and we watch all this technology grow.

We spend billions of dollars trying to get these products into the world market, setting up infrastructure in places like India, China, and yes, Russia for the one purpose of making money doing so and we make billions of dollars from their international accounts, … and then we get all paranoid when someone actually uses the system to try and influence an election? Are you kidding?

Everybody uses these platforms for their own agenda including trying to influence elections, it is the way we communicate and debate our positions. Every political party, all news agencies etc. does this all the time, moment to moment. It is common human activity.

How do you stop it? How do you stop someone making a phone call? It's the same thing … Obvious answer is you take away their phone. You don't blame the sitting president for allowing them to have a phone or for not being able to control what they say on that phone. He didn't give them the phone.

The fact that some Russians and or the Russian government for that matter, posted bias and inaccurate statements about political figures is just the same as what everybody else does and has only been weaponized since just before a certain political party lost an election.

The American public is used to dealing with corrupt entities. They deal with them all the time from their own people. They are not so fragile that they must be insulated from foreign corruption.

I suppose the Russians are trying to figure out how to break into the electronic voting systems the way both political parties are probably trying to do the same as well as deep state entities and who knows, they may actually have done so. Remember, you created the system, gave the system access to the machines and then granted these other countries access to the system. Again, Donald Trump had no part in doing that anymore than any common citizen.

Sino Soviet Relations have long been a very contentious subject, and hard to get a handle on because of language barriers and geographical distance. The alliances and tensions have reached the United States, in Trump vs Biden. The present day tension in politics, including the riots in Washington DC, are commonly being compared to and referred back to the American Civil War, because of BLM and the fact that schools have been teaching people that the Civil War was about blacks. It's really more about eastern issues, with Trump and Biden in a conflict coming out of post Vietnam issues between the Eastern great powers (see primarily relations between Khrushchev and Mao).
