SUPPORT TRUMP AND YOU SUPPORT PUTIN

The Russians hacked and posted fake news in 2016 to help Trump.  Now they are going after sites that criticized Trump since his election. Trump recently cuddled up with, and defended Russia’s leader Putin  He’s been defending Putin since his campaign. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that Russian wants to see Trump stay in power.  In effect, A vote for Trump, or a Trump supporter is a vote for Putin.   When did Russia become an ally of the U.S.?  Also note that Trump has deliberately strained our relationships with our European allies.  Putin loves to see his competitors, the U.S. and Europe divided. 

 

“BOSTON — The Russian military intelligence unit that sought to influence the 2016 election appears to have a new target: conservative American think tanks that have broken with President Trump and are seeking continued sanctions against Moscow, exposing oligarchs or pressing for human rights.

In a report scheduled for release on Tuesday, Microsoft Corporation said that it detected and seized websites that were created in recent weeks by hackers linked to the Russian unit formerly known as the G.R.U. The sites appeared meant to trick people into thinking they were clicking through links managed by the Hudson Institute and the International Republican Institute, but were secretly redirected to web pages created by the hackers to steal passwords and other credentials. . . .

 “The International Republican Institute’s board of directors includes several Republican leaders who have been highly critical of Mr. Trump’s interactions with Mr. Putin, including a summit meeting last month between the two leaders in Helsinki, Finland.

Among them are Senator John McCain of Arizona; Mitt Romney, a former presidential candidate; and — though he was silent on Mr. Trump’s appearance in Helsinki — Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, who was replaced in the spring as the White House national security adviser. General McMaster, who is now retired, had been the author of the national security strategy that called for treating Russia as a “revisionist power” and confronting it around the world. . . .
