WorldNetDaily writer and former US Department of Defense official F. Michael Maloof recalls past US foreign policy adventures in light of claims of Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

Abstract:

Excerpt:

If the US federal grand jury indicts 13 Russians for meddling in the US vote with "no allegations" that it influenced the outcome, then the investigation by Mueller should disband and take its place on the garbage heap of history.

On the face of it, to suggest that 13 Russian individuals attempted to alter the course of the US democratic election process is absolutely laughable, considering that the US mainstream media had teamed up with the Hillary Clinton campaign to barrage Americans daily with relentless stories of alleged Russian collusion with the campaign of Donald Trump to alter the 2016 election outcome.

To date, no such collusion has been uncovered.

If only 13 people allegedly attempted to alter the election outcome, you have to ask yourself: Is that all there is?

So, 13 Russians allegedly planted ideas on popular social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, where crazy ideas already abound. There never was any evidence in the indictment that even suggested any Russian attempt to manipulate through hacking voting stations. The alleged disinformation campaign amounted to calls for demonstrations or the printing of ads, which in many instances were hilarious.
Certainly, discerning and naturally skeptical Americans know the difference and have never thought that alternative ideas were a threat to the US democratic system, whether it's by Russians or even American billionaires who use their fortunes to try and alter the US political process.
