[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, for years we've been experiencing increasing hacks from Russia.  Our diplomats have been physically harassed, in Russia, Europe, and here in the US.  The hacks and targeted information leaks over the summer have been a real (and in some instances successful) attempt to influence or denigrate our election and democratic process.

Most of this stuff has been reported when it happened -- but there has been no focused response from the White House or State.  Nor has Europe figured out the best way to respond to Russia's increasing activity in the past few years.

Trump has so far shown that he has no idea that any of this has been happening, nor does he care.  But the rest of us have known for a while and do care.  This will be his problem in a month.  Do you want him to move closer to the country that has been physically attacking our diplomats and hacking our political parties and military?[/quote]

You seem unaware how deep the ties are between Trump and Russia.  Trump has been doing business there for 30 years and is indebted to the oligarchs.  Manafort continues to advise the transition.  Flynn has close ties to Putin.  Carter Phillips, his former foreign policy advisor, in Russia as recently as this week and reportedly under investigation for contact with senior Russian officials in July of this year while he was working on Trump campaign.
