Literally all that happened was a bunch of Russians posted Pepe memes on the internet and paid for Trump ads using fake accounts.


Uh, did you forget that they may have been behind the DNC hack?

The US meddles in much more blatant, direct methods in other elections and nobody ever makes a scandal from it. For instance, every US talkshow that brought up the Canadian election in 2015 was blatantly against Harper. The same happened in France this year with Marine Le Pen. This is much more blatant and effective as a meddling strategy than what happened in the US in 2016.


While that's exerting influence, it's not really "meddling." It's also not as egregious as Hillary Clinton accusing Russia of rigging its elections.

Russia is currently the scapegoat country because they refuse to be part of a centralized world government.


Well, more specifically because they're in a position to challenge the US but otherwise yeah, the fact that they haven't gone along with the West's choices has made them the West's enemy.

Everyone was blatantly against Harper. Harper was a douche.


And Trudeau is a douche. Your point?
