It is true that Americans have no one to blame but themselves for the fact that the election was close, but given the constant drip of leaks on the news and the way the Trump campaign exploited the leaks, it is hard to escape the conclusion that the Russian/Wikileaks intervention was decisive in deciding the election.
I once heard an interview with an American academic who was teaching at the University of Auckland New Zealand. He said that international law was pretty much a joke in U.S. universities (which is why he migrated to NZ). So it's not just the politicians unfortunately.
