Unreal.   After trying to rig our election for him, leaking emails... now they're trying to help him with the UN.

GENEVA (AP) — Russia lodged a formal complaint last month with the United Nations over a top U.N. official's condemnations of Donald Trump and some European politicians, an intervention that underscores the unusual links between the Republican presidential nominee and the Kremlin.

There is no evidence Trump sought Russia's assistance, or was even aware of the criticism by Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights.

Vitaly Churkin, Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, told The Associated Press on Friday that he complained to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon about Zeid's remarks.

Three diplomats familiar with the conversation said the complaint occurred in a private meeting Sept. 13. Churkin angrily protested a pair of speeches by Zeid that denounced "demagogues" and specifically targeted Trump and several populist leaders in Europe, even likening their tactics to Islamic State propaganda.

This is consistent with the Russian stand that foreign or international organizations should not meddle in internal affairs of nations.

It's not the job of UN officials to comment candidates or elections in independent countries. Do you disagree?

Russia isn't rigging elections you idiot, Hillary is. Russia isn't the enemy, they're just being painted as such by the US and the western media in order to justify a future conflict with such based on the fact that the Russian nation is ascendant and that ascendance is threatening to the western powers' status quo.
