Vox ^ | March 28, 2018 | Kelsey Atherton

People are not buying the Russia angle because for decades they’ve seen the Democrats being buddy buddy with them! They lose the election in 2016 and now the Russians are America’s mortal enemy. Oh OK Dems. Whatever you say.

“Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.” Hermann Göring

This was old news a decade ago.

Cyber attack destroying generator

Fun thing is you don't buy equipment like that off the shelf. Takes months to make.

A decade later and convenience is still winning out over security.

To the people currently living in this country, the Russkis hacking the electric grid isn’t as titillating as a homosexual “interviewing” a porn slut on 60 Minutes. Sad but true.

Vox. Vox? Vox, really? A rabid leftist website reporting “truth” without a hint of an agenda? Nothing more than useful idiots parading as truth tellers. Nonsense.

More tail wag the dog! When do people grow up already?

Russia is attacking us, as long as it make headlines. Russia, really wants to sell oil, gas and grain. Which it has been doing quite well at since they turned back to GOD! Headlines on that....

Despite sanctions the US took shipments from Russia in an evil fossil fuel substance... Where is our news in that report?

Meanwhile, in related news, Congress is still dragging its feet on the infrastructure funding that President Trump wants.

Incompetent fools.
