A thumb in the till is OK. A thumb on the scale is not. I believe the Russians tried to interfere, why wouldn't they if they could? But Trump is something the American people have done to themselves
Re Crimea, you didn't mention the vital Russian naval facilities. No Russian government would ever let Crimea come under NATO control. Illegal annexation? Yes, but with far more justification than the illigal US invasion of Iraq.
In Canadian history of the War of 1812, the British burned Washington in retaliation for the Americans burning Toronto, then called York. Probably not quite that simple, but not irrelevant either.

jot or tittle. I like it. Hadn't heard this expression since my Bible lessons over 70 years ago and had to look up what a tittle is.

"Since Britain launched the War of 1812" ?!! In the first battle of that War, Queenston Heights, the British repulsed an American attack on Canada.
The Muslims, surely, are the victims. The Germans and a very few others are the Samaritans in this analogy.
