The intrusions, detected in recent months, are under investigation by the FBI and other US security agencies. Investigators so far believe that Russian intelligence is likely behind the attacks and that Russian hackers are targeting news organizations as part of a broader series of hacks that also have focused on Democratic Party organizations, the officials said.[/quote]
Trump and Putin...politics really do make for strange bedfellows.
[QUOTE=amos106;50936275]Trump and Putin...politics really do make for strange bedfellows.[/QUOTE] Well both are xenophobic nationalists with cult followings. But Putin isn't a fool, he knows that if Trump is elected, he can play that man like a fiddle. He knows America's power projection will suffer greatly from Trump's policies, and that if that isn't enough he can manipulate Trump more easily than the other nominees.

I wouldn't call Putin full-blown xenophobic, but rather west-phobic or something like that. Russia is a multicultural country with racial (but religion-driven) tension only in certain regions.
