I think what is different and extraordinary about this situation is generally speaking the "major players" (of which there are usually only 2-4 at a time) don't ever dare to interfere *directly* in each other's political process. That's really dicey, like I don't think the US is messing with China's elections. Yes, big, powerful countries bully little smaller countries for their self interest, yes politicians who are greedy can be bought ... none of that is new. But a major power nakedly interfering into the election process of another major power ... that is a game changer. This is in a way an extremely dangerous escalation. |
There you go again, talking as if it's true before the fact has been proven.
Show some critique on your own judgements. Anything on the right that is negative you accept without question. Anything on the left attacking the right you accept without question. Anything from the right attacking the left you deny and anything from the right that could be construed as positive you downplay.
Do you know none of the major powers have been directly interfering with elections prior to now against other major powers?
