Russia has meddled with U.S. elections in the past. That much is known. Further, looking into the future, Russia will continue to meddle with elections of the U.S. and other countries. Why? As politicians and news pundits speculate about the ties between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, others look to the obvious signs. Who are these "others"?
By others, I mean retired Generals such as Former National Security Advisor General H.R. McMaster. General McMaster has a new book that just came out titled "..." in which he discusses the current state of affairs from his perspective. A perspective worth reading about. Although, I must admit that I have not yet read the book myself -- just a disclaimer.
In an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough presses the Former National Security Advisor on the questions and answers coming from President Trump regarding President Putin. Specifically, Joe tries to understand the tie between the two. Although, the Former National Security Advisor says answers are in the overall signs of the state of affairs coming out of Russia:
Listening to the Former National Security Advisor in the video above, the logic surrounding Russia's mission on bringing down nations around them is quite attractive. Very simple. I was surprised to learn about the size of Russia's economy relative to other countries economies. That helps put the problem into perspective.
At the same time, that does not help to answer the question of President Trump's actions toward Russia. Or the lack thereof actions toward Russia on the national stage. That prompts viewers with more questions about President Trump. While the answer maybe simple from the perspective of Russian President Putin, the answer is not so apparent and seems shady coming from the White House. Hopefully, in due time, the American people can understand the conundrum playing out in front of them. Stay tuned!
Wow!
