Finally, some election "hacking" that sounds legitimate.



An expected US report that could sanction Kremlin-linked oligarchs is an attempt to influence Russia's March presidential election, Moscow has said.

The US treasury report is expected to detail the closeness of senior Russian political figures and oligarchs to President Vladimir Putin, who is standing for re-election.

US officials accuse Russia of meddling in the 2016 US presidential elections.

Why do I think that this accusation has more legitimacy? Because we have a history of doing it.



In a little-known quirk of post-cold war history, the 1996 re-election campaign of Putin’s mentor, Boris Yeltsin, was secretly managed by three American political consultants who on more than one occasion allegedly received direct assistance from Bill Clinton’s White House. There’s even a movie about it. The 2003 comedy film Spinning Boris dramatises the true story of three American consultants who were hired to manage Yeltsin’s 1996 re-election campaign.

Hilarious when we do it. Worthy of nuclear war when there is even the slightest hint of Russia doing it.

And, of course, when all else fails, and we simply don't approve of the Russian government, we declare war and invade. Well, maybe just invade.

Which would explain why Russians consider the U.S. their greatest enemy, and are defiant in the face of our sanctions.

Update:



The Trump administration has declined to impose sanctions against companies and foreign countries doing business with blacklisted Russian defense and intelligence entities.
