re: #555 ericblair

Different issue, I think, and very hard to game out since this would involved a multi-year coordinated effort by Congress and the DoD. Plus, it would be a major economic hit for the surrounding areas, which is more than a slight concern for the affected politicians.

Remember, the European governments are very well aware about what happened in the 2016 elections, most likely with far more detail that we have courtesy of their intelligence services. Russia has tried to fuck with German elections, French elections, the Catalan separatist referendum, and certainly fucked with Brexit, tried to fucking kill the Montenegrin president, and this is just the start (talk to the Estonians). They know what is happening here.

Germany spending more on their military budget seems like a good idea, I mean, it’s not like anything historically bad has happened because of that… no more than twice, anyway.
