Well, I’m gonna be honest, we’ve been watching the results with my brother and we were both uncertain until the last moments. News were coming in about the system going down for a firewall update(“yeah, this is when the manipulation happens”), the threat has been there from the beginning because of the GRU members… But we’re both rather relieved.
