> America has no problem manipulating elections in other countries

Yeah, but the targets always have a problem with it, except for the entities in the target nation that are in league with the Americans.

So it's not so surprising that Americans have a problem when the roles are reversed, except the ones in league with the attacker.

Well sure, I just mean, I dunno, I guess what i'm trying to say is, 'he who casts the first stone, 'pots calling the kettle black'...'don't dish it if you can't take it'...etc.

In this case, those in the US most alarmed by Russian interference in the US election are mostly the same people who oppose US interference in foreign elections too. The people who supported the invasion of Iraq, for example, are mostly happy to turn a blind eye to Russian interference now.

Remember in every country which does things you don't like, there are people who feel as you do. In this case those people are getting the shit end of the stick.
