    In 2016 the US dropped over 12,000 bombs in Syria and over 26.000 total world wide. With Trump making "promises" to stamp out ISIS and increasing the military budget it will almost certainly be higher in 2017. The drone strike program has a high chance to be based on faulty data or hit "collateral" civilian targets, so it seems bizarre to care about Russia's incursions into Syria, since the US is killing far more in Syria, Iraq, and elsewhere then Russia or probably most countries in the world.

    Not sure how accurate but this link said "Russia's campaign in Syria "has killed no less than 2,704 civilians including 746 children and 514 women," according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, an activist-run advocacy group based in the U.K."

    I'm doubtful that we didn't kill more civilians or rebels last year with over 12,000 bombs, unless there are other reports of Russians killing people? I haven't read up on this at all so there very well could be.

    A information warfare campaign organized by a foreign power would directly constitute political interference in our country. Without context, practically any information can be weaponized.

    You're being incredibly short sighted about this. You know this just-short of act of war by Russia is entirely unacceptable but you excuse it because it benefits a candidate you like. That will not be the case next time. 4 years. 8 years. 12 years. Eventually some other country will do the exact same thing and completely screw some candidate you do like.

    You think Trump is going to somehow lock in some gains so that'll make it okay? Tell me... how many Obama-creations is Trump just blowing to smithereens. There is no such thing as a permanent political victory.

    Your opportunism, like your lack of patriotism, is revolting.

    I don't know why you quoted me. But the US isn't targeting civilians purposefully like Russia has been in Syria. While it doesn't excuse our civilian casualties, theirs are worse.

    That's why I don't see their elections as democratic. In true democracy, every vote matters. As such, the election results aren't objective.

    People who spy on you to put a dangerously crazy con-artist in charge of your country aren't interested in peace on any terms favorable to us.
    Impeach the MF.
