As mentioned in yesterday's article, Russian Hackers got into
emails passed between the Democratic Party leadership and the Hillary Clinton
campaign. In these emails it revealed a scheme to remove Bernie Sanders
from the race. Obviously this pissed off a lot of voters in the
Democratic Party and has a lot of voters either switching sides, to other
candidates like Trump or just not voting at all. But this is not the
biggest issue that comes from this.
These Russian hackers potentially work for
the Russian Government. As such Russia is supporting Donald Trump in the
election. This is all left to theory, but it is my guess that they may
find Donald Trump to be a deal maker and thus more likely to end the current
proxy war between the United States and Russia going on in Syria with respect
to ISIS/ISIL. But why does Russia want this to end? Simple,
ISIS/ISIL are Sunni Muslim while Russia's allies are Shiite Muslim (Syria and
Iran) and Russia can finally build their oil pipeline through the upper part of
the Middle East and then reap the economic benefits. Economic benefits
they need as their economy is still not exactly stable. Additionally
Trump does not mind this outside manipulation and influence as it benefits him
directly with him even jokingly calling for Russia to release more emails that
would make Hillary look bad (something that Trump has taken flack for saying).
And WikiLeaks is going to apparently release more emails as well which
may further hurt the Clinton campaign.
Final Thought: Do you find it as disturbing as I
do that a foreign country is manipulating our elections? Well if you do
not, then you should think again as this means our government will stop being
our own. We could potentially get a puppet President in office and we
would stupidly vote them in (Cough think Syria's President Cough Cough).
This is a dangerous situation and we must tread carefully with our want
to know what else Hillary Clinton has lied about and the potential of a
President Trump.
