re: Russia wants power and influence. Why do you want to help them gain it?

Why did Hillary want to instigate a conflict with Russia?

I don't know about Hillary's intentions.

And as for the poster above wondering why the Democrats care so much about Russia now when they didn't before, the answer is simple. It's political for them.

They said Russia wasn't a threat before because Romney and the Republicans said they were. They say they are a threat now because they think they hurt their candidate and helped Trump.

But putting all of the political bullshite aside, Russia really is not our friend and we should not want them to gain power and influence.
