I find it funny how globalism is leaking back into the US in unexpected ways; who would have thought twenty years ago that a Georgian citizen would take flak for derailing a US election by producing pulp news? It was always supposed to be the American eagle spreading its freedom to the world who gratefully welcomed it with praise, they weren't actually supposed to influence the US back!

Some geopolitical irony here. Georgia has been trying join NATO; President Trump will quite possibly recognize Georgia as being in the Russian sphere of influence.

They can 'influence' back as long as it's reasonable.
Articles like: 'Hillary and Trump have secret sexual encounter' is not 'news' and not any kind of positive influence.
