Re: Doesn’t Matter Who Wins the K Race; We’re All the Same
Sebby, when you talk about Trump and Russia, you have this weird myopia. You are only interested in Russia's impact on the 2016 election, and you are only interested in saying it's not interesting. IMO, whether the Russia had a material effect on the result of the 2016 election is only a close question because the election was so narrowly decided that a great many things could have been material -- in that sense, the result was overdetermined.
There are a number of questions about Trump and Russia that are more interesting to me, that you just ignore, including:
- How much has Trump's business depending on Russian money?
- How much money laundering has Trump's business been doing for Russians?
- Why was Russia trying to help Trump during the 2016 election?
- Why has Trump been so incredibly solicitous of Putin and Russia since getting elected President? (Also true of a small number of people close to him, such as Jarod Kushner and Michael Flynn.)
