WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES PUTIN WANT FROM US????

I started a Website called 2018 Right Fcking Now and wrote this article, cause DU was not available...
and I needed to speak......

But now DU is back (yeah!), so here.
I realize this is stuff that many already know, but there's more to the article.
An aside: I'm not trying to get folks over to the website,
as there are only 3 postings and no advertising involved unless it's coming from wordpress....so that's not what this post is about!


(Note that there are many links embedded in the article text at the site backing up what is written!)

Excerpt:

Russia’s interest in the US elections, are for the same reason Putin cheered the results of the Br-exit vote. Putin is working to gain influence over the larger Western powers, which traditionally have supported the EU and NATO. He calculates that if both EU and NATO could be weakened and made to crumble, Putin would then be freed of EU imposed Sanctions against Russia. As a two-fer, with NATO neutered, Putin could easily pick up the pieces of the territories that were part of the former Soviet Union. Further, Russia is currently working on weakening France by funding the Extreme Right Wing group led by Marine Le Pen. There is also the claim that Russian Hackers have already attempted to affect Germany’s upcoming August 2017 general election for German Chancellor; who is currently Angela Murkel. Germany’s economy is the largest in the EU.
