> What is the actual evidence that it was the Russians that did it?

If there actually is evidence, it's not public.

In my opinion, the "RUSSIANS WILL KILL US ALL AND TRUMP IS BEST FRIENDS WITH PUTIN" meme is nothing but a scare tactic to influence older voters who were around during the cold war. Obviously, I could be completely wrong. That's just my cynical opinion.

Can we not live in a world where the Russians did execute the hack, but the "RUSSIANS WILL KILL US" meme is also nothing but a scare tactic?

Those who aren't cynical, aren't paying attention.

This is a meaningless statement.

"Those who are not hopeful, who do not believe in a better future, are not paying attention." --me

Same amount of authority.

I agree with your "quoted" statement. Cynicism is not a flavor of pessimism.

Short pithy statements, are worth the electrons written on.

Most of your HN comments are one or two sentences?
