1. I have no problem with our government interfering in the elections of other countries.

We have done so and will continue to do so.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes our actions in this area have been to our detriment.

2. Yeah, well that's an unpleasant truth that folks L & R tend to gloss over...

Hell, our problems with Iran can be traced directly back to the 50's, when we overthrew an elected government so we could install a west-friendly gov't that would sell us oil. That led to the revolution in '79 that took down Carter and got Reagan installed.

Our fingerprints are all over most of the more heinous autocracies in Latin America over the last century.

Still, that doesn't absolve the USSR meddling in ours.

4. So true but you are being generous.

I would change this to read "we could install a west-friendly dictator"

Eta: I have often wondered what the ME would look like today if Eisenhower had not sided with the Brits back then.

3. 'Whataboutisms' from someone who doesn't give a damn

about the integrety of our 2016 election

Putin doesn't get a fucking pass, and no apologist is going to convince us to stop making sure there are consequences for Trump and his traitorous cronies.
