President-elect Donald Trump stunned the Pentagon and the broader defense world by nominating Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary, tapping someone largely inexperienced and untested on the global stage to take over the world’s largest and most powerful military.
Even if Putin were solely responsible for Trump winning (he isn't, far right domestic media like Fox News had and has far more of an effect, remember that Cambridge Analytica was British, and Trump would likely still be a political nobody if the Democrats hadn't boosted him as part of their "Pied Piper" strategy) it must be noted that this would essentially be Russia doing to the US what the US did to Russia when it supported Yeltsin's coup. Imo if a country flagrantly subverts the democracies of other countries all the time, that same country can't really complain when other countries do the same to it.
