A federal grand jury in Washington, DC has indicted 13 Russian nationals and a Kremlin-linked internet firm on charges that they had meddled in the 2016 presidential election.
The US government said Russian entities began interfering in US political processes, including the 2016 presidential election, as early as 2014, according to a court document.
[...] The charges – which include conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft – are the most direct allegations to date of illegal Russian meddling in the election.

Yup "lame" sums it all up.
I'm more interested in how the world could manage to contain and remove US nuclear capabilities so that the rest of us on this planet can avoid having all the lethal stupidity raining down on us.
If the US "citizens"/slaves (don't get insulted; we're all slaves elsewhere as well) aren't up to it one way or another (not so far) then someone else has to. The Chinese and Indians are having too much fun out-jewing the US to care and the Russians don't seem to get that the US is imploding. The UN failed long ago and aren't trying to be relevant either, not that I think they could be if they wanted to, of course I don't.
When it suddenly becomes extremely important it's going to be too late. The US is in a worse situation than the USSR was after the fall of the wall and if things are just left alone to run their natural course then it's not going to be anywhere as orderly or civilized as what happened there in the early nineties.
Yes I said orderly and civilized.
That's "relatively speaking" of course, and something which should give most Americans nightmares if they comprehended it. Instead they salivate at their own preconditioning for it. Maybe the 2020ies US is going to top the 1920ies Ukraine in gruesome evils? Judging by the worst crimes in the US they're halfway there already. If "US" elites are aiming for such a "feat" then Satan can take early retirement, it's the kind of level of evil which makes Joseph Mengele look like a saint.
It's really hard to make anyone give a flying fuck about Americans though :(
This all makes a (North) Korean EMP attack knocking the US out look like the humanitarian option and a win-win situation since it would force the issue while also removing the US "government" and "society" from the picture. It would arguably be better for US inhabitants as well since an EMP or five is far better than having their own stockpiles blowing up in their face. Personally I think it sucks for everybody not to have anything better to choose from but there's not a shred of evidence that anyone is trying to mitigate the coming fall of the US in the same way the fall of the USSR was mitigated.
A future US nuclear black market is worse, no matter how much Deep State shills like DeathMonkey are getting paid.
Keep in mind that the customers will be everyone that has a grievance with the US.

Sorry, that's not even remotely credible. It's far stronger economically, definitely still in the upper tier of developed world countries while the USSR never made it to that far.
That was during the takeover by the USSR. Nothing major happened in the Ukraine till the Holodomor [wikipedia.org] in the 1930s when several million Ukrainians died due to preventable famine, due to the machinations of the USSR leadership.
Like what? In my alternate reality the US is nowhere close to the evils of the USSR. Maybe you ought to come over here. You'd probably like it better.
You mean aside from drawing down US nuclear weapons to under a thousand warheads? It's like you're not even paying a shred of attention to what's going on.
