Russia, the Olympics and Hacking

Humans and animals act in their own interest…but for the self-destructive few. Vladimir Putin is sufficiently long in the tooth to have already self-destruct if such was his inclination.

A hacking and posting of American Olympic athlete’s medical records so soon after the Olympics using “Russian tools” points directly at Russia and does not increase its chance of returning to sports.

So, what is the benefit to Russia?

This, on the heels of the Colin Powell and DNC hullabaloo, is not to Putin’s gain.

Who gains?
