One of the biggest mistakes millions of Americans make is believing that our nation is the center of the universe, and therefore more important than all other nations and their people. The truth is that we are one of many nations, and of no more importance than even the smallest country far, far away from our shores.

All of our security agencies have agreed that Russia attempted to interfere in our presidential election in multiple ways. We know that Vladimir Putin did succeed in deterring a larger voter turnout with the use of social media. What Americans are likely unaware of is that Russia attempted to interfere with the Brexit vote in Great Britain. Our media is lacking in information and heavy on entertainment.

British authorities report that similar efforts made in the United States were used in attempts to influence voter opinion. Of course Prime Minister Theresa May claimed that Russia’s efforts did not influence the results of the Brexit vote, but can she be positive? How can she, or any government official, anywhere, know what is inside of the minds of every individual who could have been affected by social media and television?

Americans must reject Trump’s isolationist efforts to place “America First.” In the 21^st century, it is impossible for any nation to exist without close allies and friends.

The Russians also attempted to influence the results of France’s election. Multiple e-mails, and efforts to use social media were discovered and linked to Russian agents and the Kremlin.

In March and April hackers attempted to invade the computers of the two major parties and control the results of Germany’s election.

Several Russian agents have entered guilty pleas in a British court. Although Trump continues to lie and deny that Putin made any effort to influence our election in his favor, these agents confirmed that they were part of that effort, and it was more extensive than first believed.

A preponderance of circumstantial evidence, combined with confirmation from other nation’s legal agencies, proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump and his campaign staff colluded with Russia in 2016.

Konstantin Kozlovsky is one of the FSB’s primary hackers; the FSB is Russia’s replacement for the infamous KGB. Here is a part of his confession.

Now Kozlovsky is in custody in SIZO “Matrosskaya Tishina”. On August 15, the court considered the extension of the measure of restraint. At this meeting, Kozlovsky said that he “performed various tasks under the supervision of FSB officers, in particular,” hacking “of the National Committee of the Democratic Party of the USA and electronic correspondence of Hillary Clinton, and also” hacking “very serious military enterprises of the United States and other organizations.”

Only the Republican Party and the mainstream media deny that Trump was aided by Putin. The rest of the world is convinced, but politics is preventing the truth from being told to the American people.

There is no doubt that all Republicans are fully aware that Trump is an illegitimate president, but party comes before the future of our nation and our people.

Please re-post; thank you.
