According to their reasoning, the Russians have hacked the Democratic Party and subverted social media to assure a victory for the present occupant of the White House (when he’s not in his NYC tower or at his fancy estate in Southeast Florida). And horror of
Syria’s Bashar Assad made a surprise visit to Russia to express thanks for Moscow’s help in the fight against terrorism.

This comes when in the previous week, Russian Navy divers, have managed a dive
by Peter Koenig Dear President Putin, Yemen, a peaceful and extremely poor country is being slaughtered, literally slaughtered by the Saudis, with the full weapons, funding and political support of the United States of America and the UK.
