To find the truth, I learned long ago that I must not rely on publications and television news from the United States alone. I read publications from several nations, including “RT,” a Russian sponsored online news service.

Vladimir Putin and his cronies have been accused of attempting to influence our presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. This story is mostly ignored by the American media. After reading several articles; some from men associated with Putin; there is no doubt that several instances, including hacking by WikiLeaks, are intended to discredit Hillary, and elect “Putin’s puppet,” Donald Trump.

One article I read, written by a close ally of Putin, actually threatened nuclear conflict if Hillary is elected.

Let’s be clear; and let’s tell the truth. Hillary knows Putin well. Her experience as a Senator and Secretary of State have offered her knowledge about all things Russian. This is what frightens Putin.

Trump admits “I don’t know Putin; I know nothing about him.” That’s the problem, Donald, you know nothing about our government. You know nothing about domestic issues which affect the majority of our nation’s people. You know nothing about national security or international relations. Your temperament would force you to make rash judgments and place or nation and the world in greater danger.

Final thought; Trump is nothing more than a bully; and this he shares with Putin. Trump is not a man of ideas or action, he wants to become our nation’s first dictator. His actions at his rallies are demonstrative of what he would be like in front of a contentious congress, or when negotiating with other heads of state who may not be ‘friendly.’ Once again, I question the beliefs and morals of his supporters. Who are they, really? If they agree with Trump on every issue; what they are not are Americans who support the Constitution.

The American people have a right to know the truth; please re-post. Thank you.
