Please do forgive my laughter over the suggestion that Russian Twitter trolls swung the election against Hillary Clinton. For consider what it is that was actually found: Some 13 people stirred the pot a little, to an effect no one can calculate. That is what has been discovered so far, and no more.

Obviously, this is an outrage! But we might want to consider who has intervened where and when in other elections. For example, I’m pretty sure the U.S. had something to do with Saddam Hussein no longer being “elected.” The Marines helped United Fruit Company more than once with pesky local politicians.
