Is Putin Cyber attacking our democracy a sign of his strength or his weakness?

I see it differently than I have heard it described before. It is like he is attaching himself like a remora does to a shark to use the shark to be able to eat better. So, is a remora a sign of strength or a way for the remora to eat better?

I'm not sure like the addage that the U.S. is a shark, but economically I suppose we have been a growing shark since World War II. Though Putin has ruled Russia with an iron fist, it really hasn't helped Russia much economically, even though in some ways it has brought order to Russia that itjust didn't have during the 1990s when many were starving when they were trying to adjust from the Soviet Economy to a more capitalist economy.

Now people have more food than they did before but also Putin has brought sanctions from places as diverse as Europe and Japan and the U.S. and other countries because Russia invaded and took over Crimea and also brought Russian fighters to fight against Ukraine as well once Putin's puppet leader was overthrown there.

So, what is Putin doing to the U.S. really?

What he is doing more than anything else looks like a cyber parasite maybe.

Has it destroyed our democracy? Maybe.

But America is a very diverse country and it is more than the sum of it's parts.

Did Putin create a revolution here by his cyber attacks?

In a way he did. This is the most serious thing that has happened since 9-11 or the Kennedy Assassination even though most of the nation is mostly in shock from it still.

Will Trump destroy America at Putin's behest?

This still remains to be seen.

However, if Trump doesn't believe that Putin has done this to America I don't think he ever could be put in by the Electoral College if he doesn't believe this happened to America.

Because otherwise, our intelligence services will see him like China now sees Trump.

Sort of like a child maybe in 3rd grade.
