> "Not only that, but the US has already said Russia is behind those attacks; it would actually harm their argument if they built a giant PR campaign"

Did not US said that Iraq had a weapon of mass destruction and invaded them with a huge PR campaign?

It was not my claim that the US doesn't run PR campaigns, just that the one you propose doesn't make sense.

You whole argument is based on what US said and that they would not lie because it would ruin their PR campaign. US can say whatever they want so do Russia, but so far none of them showed any proof that hackers were sponsored by Russian gov.

That claim is also factually inaccurate.

And Iraq actually had weapons of mass desctruction.

well if you're going to go there... there's a great Bill Hicks sketch about how we knew the Iraqis had WMDs, we had the receipts!
