i think the groups posting the ads are the most they will come up with
if they got caught, Russia would get sanctions, which they then dodge with a 3rd party
And the same masses that believe the establishment from "non-russia" countries would be content cuz Muh russia gotting dem sanctions!
which... anyone can buy ads
international charges are useless
im not sure i follow that last line Doc
trying to
Russia gets sanctions that don't actually work
the West citizens will be happy cuz Russia is being "punished"
No war, Neither side ultimately loses
i see what you mean now ok
Its a very old game played in the modern world
agreed
you pretend to punish them, and they just go "ow, noooo stop, we're the bad"
and you secretly high-five under the table
so if there was meddeling, i WOULD like to see something more than just sanctions. i agree they are just a lip service type punishment
but what would be the proper punishment
putin in jail would be one to me
but thats just one thing
there isn't really one, I'd guess the best punishment would be a formal apology and monetary payment made
I died a little bit inside when I heard use a Swiss army knife to install computer components
Russia paying the US a few billions
And everyone moves on
meh thats another non punishment punishment though
nah, you actually benefit that way
nah nothing benifits me lol
well the US state would get it, and they'd give it to mexicans 😛
it would just go to the def budget
but the problem with Sanctions is how they work "We wont trade with you" So you stop your own trade too
Meaning both sides lose from it, one just more than others
would be cool if we used that money to make a better election system, but i wont hold my breath for that
and through 3rd parties you can just resume those deals, albeit a bit strained cuz the 3rd parties gain some money from it too
ya just the drug dealers middle men at that pont
so, ok, lets put punishment to the side for a sec
we need a better election system in this country. a more hardened system
people could hack our voter machines with a TI-85 if they wanted too
they are such garbage devices i wouldnt let my mom use one if it was donated
what would you suggest though?
Paper ballots can be falsified too
oh hell no
i mean we need new devices all together
ones that cannot be found just connecting to the local wifi of the library
something that connects directly to a larger database to tally the votes
and who's gonna pay for those machines?
well, this is one of those things that the government SHOULD pay for
the fed
its to secure the elections of the country
