Wait, what?
Russia DID use social media to help Trump into the White House. It's documented. With or without the Trump campaign's collaboration. (Winking and looking the other way evidently doesn't count as collaborating.) And they're gearing up for a much bigger push next year to keep him there.

@Paul4747 The Facebook CEO congress had to testify said that Russia only spent $4700 dollars on adds. Yes, only $4700 Dollars. Have you seen the adds? They are so obscure that they don't even seem like they have anything to do with the election.

Have you seen how many countries governments the US has regime changed with coups and war? We are currently trying to overthrow Venezuela's government, by forcing the world to see a democratically elected leader in Madura out and placing Guido in by saying we don't recognize Maduro as their leader. Now how is spending $4700 worse then what we're doing with attempting to oust Maduro, and put a more Capitalist friendly leader in place so corporations can steel Venezuela's oil and other resources?

@Vintenar You're being deliberately obtuse. Spending money on advertising that's traceable to Russian sources was never the core of their campaign.
Fake profiles posting pro-Trump and anti-Hilary opinions, bots reposting Twitter messages to play up negative tweets and post fake news, paying trolls to post attacks; there is an entire division of the former KGB devoted to this. And it's proven.
And you seem to have forgotten the Russian hack of the DNC, which leaked thousands of emails to Wikileaks to release just before the election, to Trump's applause. ("Russia, if you're listening..." )

Now, tell me in return "what we're doing" in Venezuela, other than preparing for possible deployments to support the legitimate government (recognized by 54 nations) who themselves threw Maduro out of office?

@Paul4747 Yes and all those emails are things that should have never been hidden from the American people, and the DNC shouldn't have been doing the things in the emails that got leaked. The Russiagate thing is just a way to allow the DNCC to avoid the fact that they rigged the election against other Democrats in favor of Hillery and you don't think it is odd that as soon as she lost to Trump, she was on TV tell everyone that Russia hacked our elections. The whole Russia gate thing is a deflection of the things the DNCC did wrong, and they used it to avoid public and government scrutiny. It doesn't matter who leaked them.

I don't believe people are easily swayed by others via post from bots or whatever, I know I'm not. I gather my intel from various news sources that I watch.

Flip the script if 54 countries said Trump wasn't the legitimate leader of the USA then got together, backed some dude no one ever heard of before, then how would most Americans feel who elected him. Most all the mainstream media news is telling you wrong on Venezuela, and all the reporters that tell the lies have never even been to the country to report on it.

This link shows Trumps guy John Bolten clearly stating the agenda of the United States and their mission to oust Maduro for the oil and resources so that the corporations wouldn't be caught off guard with regards to them being ready to grab them resources.

If you actually watch this last video and still don't think the US being nefarious towards Venezuela try to do a coup de ta than you are just not facing the facts about how the USA is a bully towards countries with large oil reserves.

We did this before towards Iraq when they threatened Kuwait's oil. That oil grab backfired when Iraq destroyed the oil systems in Kuwait as retaliation. I think this is the very reason that we haven't invaded Venezuela already. The US doesn't want the current oil infrastructure destroyed.

@Vintenar Well, he isn't the legitimately elected leader, from one point of view. He didn't win the popular vote. Let's say he were impeached but refused to leave office (exactly analogous to what's happening with Maduros).
It's the Venezuelan Assembly who started this, not us. That's the point.
