If we remember the sanction Obama put on Russia
As well too remember the point where the Ruble Fell Sharply and their oil revenue dropped sharply.... They were "furious" and they sent their money around the world in the "dirty money cycle" trying to preserve value in their wealth holding.
Trump benefited greatly long before his run for office. When there was no other viable legal means for him to have gotten money.
It was Russian Money that he and many others tapped into. He became vocally a Russian advocate and the more he advocated the more money Russian put into his properties.
But at the same time, the long game, is to weaken America, and the best way to do it is to feed into the racist divisions that rose up to a fever pitch during the election of Obama, and the economic Devastation left behind by Bush. It was a perfect recipe for Russians to rush in and feed discord, especially through the white males and the rural red states white people.
The polls showed overwhelmingly how white males voted Republican and Voted for Trump, and even with the madness of abuse of women, the white women chose to vote Republican. Then there's Hillary, who would not stand down to Putin's antics, the aim to tarnish her was in overdrive, first with the Benghazi, and then about something as minor and insidious as emails.
They played the gullibility of Americans to fall for "drama antics" and forget the long history of works by Clinton. Besides she was a "woman", that did not sit well with the historically male dominance ideals that is pervasive in Right Wing society.
We better get smarter and stop running from the truths that we see and know... many may skip right past this thread, yet as democrats they know there is Russian interference, yet, won't engage to expand and expound on their thoughts so others who may come upon this site, can have narrative and content to arouse and inspire them to become more aware.
Such acts do not help us.... But, I'll keep writing anyway, hopefully those new people who venture upon this site can be inspired to expound and spread public conversational narratives. We should be concerned about the Russian spies in the U.S.

What is Narrative: (a spoken or written account of connected events; a story)
Narrative writing is a vehicle through which you can describe a personal experience, retell a story you've heard before or address a series of events, facts and viewpoints. The rules of narrative writing are few and far between, giving the author a chance to let his unique writing style shine.

(870 posts)I write articles and also send post to some of the Liberal Minded Talk Shows, I send material to the Ivy League Universities, and I send material to the news media.
It does not matter to me if it gets published by them, it matters that I plant the seeds of thoughts. I have a friend who frequent a talk show, and he continually tells me, the host comes to address the same matters that I discuss, and he said he finds it curious, because the address is within the time frame of the post and commentary I write and send.
Narratives are powerful... we should learn that from the impact of the misguided stuff Guiliani and Trump puts out as Narratives... we just have to be driven enough to put out 'counter narrative" that speaks of the truths we know.
I have group email addresses to members of various Ivy League Sociology, Philosophy, Political Science, departments, and I send material to Democratic Senators, as well as to the DNC and NAACP, not just just the headquarters but to district officials.
I don't care that some in this site climb up because they are not patronized, or given some high praise because they have a few thousand post, or been here for years.
( I support the Democratic Party ), but I am not going to write to be appeasing or passive, Because I know the monster of what the Republican Party is, what it has done and what it keeps doing to damage America and push a Confederate/Antebellum class and race divisiveness inspired ideology and policy agenda while it panders to the aims of the wealthy to create a Plutocratic systems that mirrors that of the Old Confederacy Government Ideology such as, the historical reality which denotes (the wealthy ruled over the poor" )
