It is remarkable that all of the foreign actors working to affect the election all seem to be working the same way. I happen to agree that this outcome would be worse for us, but it's interesting that none of them think that the alternative could benefit them.

Iran, for example, had a deal that was overturned. Why would they want more of the person who overturned it?

My guess would be that it in general creates dissension among us and general mis-government that provides them opportunities, including reducing our influence with others. But isn't there one of them that might prefer a change?
