Actually, I wonder how 80 million active users would take it if one day their app stopped working, because Trump wanted it, a few days or weeks before the elections. It might not skew votes too much, but 80 million is a lot of people.

What would be Putin's motive in the case of Skripal? And if he really wanted him dead, there would have been a thousand other ways to do it without basically writing "Russia" with a spray can all over the body. To be clear,
