You are foolish to think that.
Not everyone does that. I worked in intelligence for 30 years and I can say countries do not do this unless they mean harm to an enemy; a real enemy. We are no longer an enemy of Russia.
(Fool Obama is the only one I know of who did such a thing and Israel almost broke relations with America over it.)
It is an undermining act of war when done between nations.
It took a giant Russian corporation to open 13 Facebook and Twitter accounts using fake names?
LMAO.
You may not have noticed it, but that kind of sh!t happens with boring regularity right here on this website EVERY DAY.
Why not?
I was there. It nearly caused a diplomatic break in relations. The friendship between America and Israel was chilled for years. Despite Israel's pleading, we kept Pollard and his wife in jail....him for many years.
Stop the drama. It didn’t change a damn thing in U.S. relations with Israel. They remained one of the largest recipients (if not THE largest) of U.S. foreign aid throughout the entire time the case was being prosecuted and the entire time Pollard was in prison.
Hilarious.
Thirteen Russian itinerants overthrow the Federal election of the United States?
Whatta laff. If anyone noticed, it was an accident.
Has anyone noticed that the word “hacking” does not appear anywhere in the indictment?
“It is an undermining act of war when done between nations”
Gee, really?
The nation of Mexico intentionally pushes millions of its people into our country, routinely interferes in elections all across the Southwest, foments violent mass action in our cities (recall the attacks on candidate Trump in California and his supporters), sends its “diplomats” into our state and municipal governments to agitate and threaten our elected representatives, pours money (usually gotten from the US) into every kind of influence peddling in our federal, state and local governments, and being tied into the Mexican mafias that smuggle people and drugs into the US, they wage a terrorist war against the Americans of the Southwest.
Funny but I don’t hear you pointing that out. I guess if you live in leafy Maryland suburbs that’s a reality a million miles away.
But it is terrifyingly real for us in the West. Yet the fixation on Eastern Europe and its chronic inter-ethnic problems is all that seems to animate Eastern Seaboard people, who unfortunately end up focusing the lion’s share of an entire country’s resources on them.
Why is that? Thirteen inconsequential people doing political dirty tricks that are dwarfed by the vicious crimes of the entire nation that adjoins the US, and...that’s who Washington focuses on?
If it’s “an undermining act of war” then when do we declare war on the sleazy scum to the South of us? They do it by the millions, not in the tens of people.
Mr. Trump has all the right enemies, and is focused on the REAL threats to the existence of America.
Now, assuming you are telling the truth that you were in US intelligence for 30 years, I don't trust you. US intelligence is a powerful force, at this point highly politicized. You might be trustworthy, but it's reasonable to presume you are not.
I wonder if the Russians helped Obama in 2008 and 2012. Because Obama promised Putin he would have more flexibility after an election that hadn’t happened yet.
Laughable as wars go.
You might be trustworthy but I note you were suspended from PHOTOBUCKET. What you did was unethical. Tell all of us what you did, please.
Interesting. The antisemitism runs deeper than i thought.
Radio Free Europe, etc, etc, etc.
LOL — Educate yourself. Any Americans involved (I.e. meddling) in Ukraine’s recent elections? Any Clinton involved Americans involved? We live in such a glass house.
The Russians have been engaged in disinformation campaigns and disruption since 1917! If they had “hacked” the election by changing vote totals, then that is one thing. But do you really think their disinformation was any more impactful than the stream of editorializing we got from the left-wing European press throughout the campaign which hailed HRC and demonized Trump?
And do you really think the Chinese, North Koreans, and others aren’t doing this as well? Why are our overlords not talking about them?
Sorry to say, but the only way you’re going to eliminate this kind of foreign meddling is to block U.S. citizens’ access to foreign information sources. Good luck trying to block internet access. And radio? Impossible.
For me, the most shocking element of all this is the assumption that the American people need “protection” because they are too moronic to inform themselves appropriately, sift through the dross, and make their own decisions. If that is truly the case, then none of this foreign meddling means anything, because we have sufficient fake-news propagandists to bring down the Republic right here at home.
Looks to me like a psychological attack on the USA!
There is much evidence that the Russians were behind it all. They want to assimilate Ukraine.
