Should we be welcoming unsolicited Chinese election assistance?

CNN Politics, 5-3-2019

" Trump says he spoke with Putin about 'Russian hoax,' didn't warn him against 2020 election meddling "
…………..

" Intelligence officials believe that Russian interference in US public affairs continues. But efforts to focus the administration's efforts in countering that meddling have been met with resistance from the President, who has viewed any suggestion that Russia helped him win the election as a challenge to his legitimacy.

According to the Mueller report, "[T]he investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts." The Mueller report also details Russia's efforts at interference during the 2016 election, which led to charges against several Russians and Russian entities. "

It's clear to me that trump and the pukes continue to welcome Russian interference and assistance in the 2020 election. We may be strong as a domestic Party but we can't be expected to battle the pukes and foreign governments simultaneously.

I'd make a list: UK, France, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, countries like that.

Sort of an Anti Nazi-tRumpevik Bloc of Nations.

She was responding to a Rachel Marrow asking a hypothetical "what's to keep other counties from writhing in to curry favor?"
