    I am not sure how your point conflicts with the idea that both sides are heavily invested in hacking each other such that one calling out the other is a bit nonsensical. (other than for pure propaganda purposes)

    This is part of the "pot calling kettle black" syndrome that has afflicted our Politicians and mass media.

    How will she find the way to risk our security if she wins in Nov? She is very clever in that sort of thing, ya know? And how can a Clinton operate if they cannot be secretive? You know, secrets from the people they are supposed to work for and represent?

    This blaming Russia, for hacking into her private, non high security server, is like blaming a man who finds a hundred dollar bill in the parking lot and puts it into his pocket.

    That's what espionage is about.....so it is expected. But then one isn't suppose to have people to make it easier and then infect all they communicate with.

    You didn't think there was some rosy utopian scenario where countries just don't do that to each other.....did you?

    ?? That "This is what espionage is all about" was exactly the point I was making. I was not commenting on Hilly making it easier.

    My comment was related to the hypocrisy in calling out the Russians for "meddling in the election" or for Hacking the US in general.

    Yeah it is hard to slap down Putin, especially when Podesta, Hillarys Chaiman of her campaign is helping Putin and his Boys get around the Peeps sanctions.

    She was really trying last night to get the people to believe, that the Russians are trying to prevent her from becoming President.

    She is a Cracker Jack box....and we all know the box comes with a surprise, Right? :grin:

    I take issue with this "tinpot dictator" nonsense. Our government and media have been down on Russia and Putin ever since Snowden..

    But not the republican candidate for president, or did that little exception pass you by?

    And forgive me if I believe Putin to be a tinpot dictator, but I calls em as I sees them.

    Every opportunity Hillary gets she starts demonizing Russia, and accusing them of hacking her E-mail is a part of that demonizing. She is also trying to hurt Donald Trump by association, or provoke him into attacking Russia himself ...something he will not do.

    It's idiotic and doesn't gain her any points, so I feel she's doing it under someone's directives? Since it's preparing the American people for war, who is behind it and who are her supporters and donors?

    The investigative reporter Robert Parry of Consortiumnews mentions one of them in an article, it's the head of NED Carl Gershman. Parry also has an article on the latest 'group think' in Washington, and how they want to escalate conflicts with Syria and Russia.

    Frankly I think they're crazy, and so do many of the American people. If Trump is not elected ...and soon, who knows where we will be heading. :wall:

    Even before that. Washington started on Putin when he began clamping down on the American aligned oligarchs... especially Khodorovsky. Putin said he wouldn't socialize their companies but expected two things from them. One was to pay their taxes and the other to stay out of politics...

    Khodorovsky did neither. When he went to sell Russia's largest oil company to an American firm he was thrown in jail. That's when Putin became Washington's raison d'etre.

    She knows she has the backing of the Neo Cons and Establishment Repubs. She already has told Wall Street they can have their backroom deals and help write their own regulation.

    Do you have any idea WHY?

    Do you know what Iran wants?

    Do you know why the al Houthis are firing on US destroyers?

    Yeah. They've dared to defy US hegemony and sewing of chaos in neighboring nations.

    A dictator is not one who gets elected with over an 80% majority, he is called a president... unless of course you're from Washington, then it's anyone who doesn't follow their policy.

    Imagine that, gov't who is not told what to do by the oligarch elites. No wonder our elites hate putin. They cannot buy him, nor control Russian policy. Yet they have so much power in our own.

    Right, which is why Saddam hussein only got 100% of the vote every time.
