Look. ..if there's truth to what Russia did during the US elections they should not be surprised. Good show. .good complaining. .but they knew this was coming. And I wouldn't be surprised if the US isn't quite done with them yet. Expect Ukraine to be armed better. Expect more violations of nuclear arms agreements..etc etc
