Barack Obama Says US Will Retaliate Against Russian Hacking
NDTV ^ | 12/16/2016 | VARIOUS

Posted on 12/16/2016 9:00:14 AM PST by UnChained

Barack Obama on Thursday said the United States would retaliate against Russian hacking after the White House accused Vladimir Putin of direct involvement in cyberattacks designed to influence the US election.

The outgoing US president's remarks dramatically upped the stakes in a dispute between the world's leading nuclear powers over interference that may have swayed last month's tight election in which Republican billionaire Donald Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.

I see Obama laying the groundwork for "brushing aside the last vestige of the old republic".

What will prevent Obama from fastening onto an excuse like this from invalidating the election through presidential order and setting himself up as "El Presidente for Life"?

Obama is a Marxist radical with little regard for the Constitution. He is far from incompetent and is bold enough to try.

He’s just saying this to feed the narrative. He won’t do a thing except go on vacation.

Let's see: The U.S. Military, and millions of well-armed private citizens, for starters.

RE: "Barack Obama on Thursday said the United States would retaliate against Russian hacking after the White House"

There's all the proof needed to confirm that this story is a media fabrication.

Here’s a better idea, Baraq: Go on vacation until 1/20/2017.

It’s the only thing you are competent at.

Aside from the fact that this whole hacking story is bogus, what does Obama mean by “the US will retaliate”?

Is this like his “line in the sand” warning to Putin regarding Syria?

This is just more pandering to this false narrative regarding the election. Hopefully this whole stupid story will blow up in their faces.

Obama will retaliate by drafting a strongly worded letter to Putin.

Well, he’ll be on vacation until the New Year. Then they’ll need at least two weeks to pack. Maybe they should just leave early.

I can see that as a possibility. But I can also see freedom loving Americans going to DC and physically removing the SOB and his ugly family from the White Hut.

Mr. Obama is going to send them a sternly worded letter.

If they don’t immediately apologize and recommend a new election he’s going to ask John Kerry to send them a sternly worded letter.

If that doesn’t work he’ll ask Loretta Lynch to send a sternly worded letter.

After that, it will be January 20, 2017...

NDTV? Who is that?

With only a few days left in his term, the most Mr Obama can do to Russia is fart in their general direction.

The U.S. Military, and millions a very small handful of well-armed private citizens, if we're lucky.

Fixed it!

GOT A NEW IDEA as to why the are blaming the Russians... Because political donors like the Saudis want to know why they lost. Can’t say it’s Clinton’s and Obama’s fault.
