Apparently we're okay with foreign interference in our elections because the Russians "Do business" now.

Their infrastructure is tied into pipeline deliveries from Russia. Pretty much oil comes from shitty places, and there’s always a price to be paid.

Russia takes their oil money and uses it to destroy their governments by funding psychos.

It is stupid giving Russia any money.

Pathetically Stupid.

If they are that addicted to oil, they should go to treatment.

Maybe not drive and fly so much ya think?

Russia is a practical distance away. A gas pipeline can deliver it.
Europeans probably have a different mindset about Russia compared to us.

Crude flows to nearest demand. Why import Russian crude with high transport cost when Mexican crude is close to refineries in US?

with other countries too, elections, regime change, assassinations, troops everywhere, etc.

Point is, until we stop doing it, we ain't got much room to complain. Well, other than we got stuck with trump because of Russia, Comey and some folks that should have supported Democrats but didn't (including not showing up at polls).
