U.S. Says Russia Directed Hacks to Influence Elections

Most Americans under 40 don't care about the Russian boogeyman anymore.

What did the average American gain from 40 years of nuclear chicken?

Of all Europeans, Russians are the most similar culturally ( what group do you think would be more natural at a football-watching beer barbecue? ).

This just comes off as scare tactics from an organization (DNC) desperate to divert attention from dozens of instances of documented felonies contained in the leaks.

I completely agree that this is an attempt to divert attention. The Times did the best they could to support the DNC with those headlines, but if you actually read the article, the director of national intelligence himself says that he is uncertain who is responsible for the attacks.
