For decades the USA has been promoting, enacting and justifying coups all over the world.

Iran, Vietnam, Egypt, Syria, Guatemala, Lebanon, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Chile, Nicuraugua, Panama, etc etc.

We have been sticking our noses in other people's business, and finally its come back to bite us in the ass.

That's why while I don't condone the Russian meddling, I also don't oppose it. I see it as karma and justice for what we have done throughout the world for many years.

Hopefully we have learned our lesson.

Do you remember the Cold War?

Do you also not oppose the slaughter of innocent American citizens because we've killed so many innocent people of other countries?

Of course all countries do this kind of thing. It's not just chickens coming home to roost - Russia would be doing this anyway.

I think you misunderstand what the story is. It is not Oh my God Russia are meddling in American democracy. The story is that a presidential campaign has allegedly used the influence of a foreign power to undermine the electoral system. It's one thing for another country to meddle in its own interest, it is quite another for a country - particularly a hostile one - to be part of the team.
 
If the interference leads to a better, more robust and transparent voting system, I might consider that worth having Trump as president for an entire year before he resigned.

Perhaps so, but that doesn't mean we're obliged to roll over and take it.
