Well, some of us were surprised that nothing happened to disrupt the election process in the United States. That will lead some to say that the Russians must have realized something none of us knew until very late, that Donald Trump would win. Credit them with being clairvoyant and way ahead of our analysts in this country. The Russians even released a video of celebrations in Moscow when Trump won, acting like they had something to do with it.
They couldn't have known who would win because we didn't know either until almost 2 AM this morning. They may have influenced some voters, but turned off many more. Meddling in elections has not been very successful for them in the past, and there is a good indication that this one wasn't much better. That does not mean that anyone here will forget the hacking of the political candidates, any more than we forgot the Chinese did it before them. Remember the curses that come with this kind of behavior: May you live in interesting times. May all your wishes come true.
