    Oh you mean the world that is controlled by the US would dare to lobby the US government. Tell me it ain’t so. Here is a fucking idea, if you don’t like it when someone puts their hand in your cookie jar don’t go around putting your hand in everyone else’s cookie jar.

    Aka how dare they interfere with elections, only we are allowed to do that!

      It wasn’t for Democrats interfering in Russian elections in 1996 Putin wouldn’t be in power right now to be their boogeyman.

        I didn’t realize US interference with Russia election lead to Yeltsin winning and then handing over power to Putin. Really changes the whole US vs Russia angle when they literally put him in power and made sure he stayed there. Kind of like every regime change turned dictatorship that the US has their fingerprints all over.

          Its interference with Yeltsin reelected a candidate with a 6% approval rating over a communist with a 90%. Russia wanted to get rid of the capitalism shoved on them by the US
