This is par for the course when it comes to the world. The issue is the DNC got hacked not because piton wanted the GOP to win..... he tried to hack the GOP as well. The difference was that the GOP had security and cooperated with the FBI when it happened. The DNC didn't ..... do I want either party hacked? Ofc not. But do I want to stop any potential agreement to work with Russia on world affairs..... no. We tried being the enemy of Russia for decades..... let's try working together. If we applied the same metrics to Every alley that we apply to Russia we would have no friends.
