9. Does "the Russians" include U.S. citizens purposefully pushing Russian interests ?

'Cause they're already here.

The consistent doom and gloomers (they want us to give up,lose hope).

The consistent dividers (divide and conquer, big russian interest ,that).

The consistent "I don't trust"-ers (they want us to lose faith in institutions, in leadership, in our fellow americans).

The consistent defamers (and no, I'm not referencing the Hillary/Bernie feuders) -anyone who is effective, who has our trust or is gaining our trust, is targeted.

Saw one here the other day. Could've been a russian for all I know, but assumed he/she was American.( If he/she was a russian, fooled me, very good, very deft impersonation).

The more obvious one's are sometimes mistaken for the far-right or deplorables. I've made that mistake, but then I asked myself :

"Why in the world would they be pushing that line?"

We need to ask ourselves that question more often.
