Russia’s Pattern of Influencing Foreign Politics
Daily Signal ^ | 7/27/16 | Nolan Peterson

Posted on 07/27/2016 2:14:46 PM PDT by milton23

If the FBI proves Russia is behind Friday’s leak of embarrassing Democratic National Committee emails, the revelation would be consistent with Russia’s pattern of clandestine and overt gambits to influence the politics of its perceived adversaries.

“In the Putin era, Russia has been aggressive on many fronts, including invasions of Georgia and Ukraine,” said Kenneth Geers, ambassador of NATO’s cybersecurity center and a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.

“In cyberspace, the concepts of sovereignty and jurisdiction are much less clear,” Geers, who lives in Kyiv, told The Daily Signal. “If Putin can deny that his tanks are in Donetsk, he can certainly deny that his malicious code is in a DNC server.”

We overtly tried to influence the outcome of the Israeli election and they are theoretically our ally. We have no right to whine about Russia.

Obama overthrew the Egyptian government to install his terorirst gangster Muslim Brotherhood in power (somehow or other the people managed to get rid of the MB, to Obama’s distress)

Obama and Hilliary lauched an illegal war against Libya, to replace its government with IslamoNazi terrorist gangsters

Obama has been trying to illegally overthrow the Syrian government, only to be stopped by Russia

and more.

oh yes, Obama iilegally nterferred with the Israeli elections trying to install puppet traitors in Jerusalem, but somehow the people there figured it out and re-elected Bibi’s ticket.

Don’t forget that the only reason this “ambassador of NATO cybersecurity center” is in Kiev in the first place was US interference in Ukrainian politics that overthrew the elected government and replaced it with neo-Nazi puppets!

And it was Clinton’s deputy SoS who took the lead in making it happen, under her watch.

and how many foreign elections has the US influences just in the Mideast and Africa?? It might be easier to name the countries our State Department has not played a significant role.

Shall we talk about how many times the US has gotten involved in foreign elections over the years?

I keep hoping that Trump will completely disassociate himself from Putin and Russia. They’re no-goodniks.

The nasty Russkies again?

Heaven for-fend!

Putin needs to take a lesson from the good ol' U.S.A. and do his international politicking out in the open where everybody can watch. (Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, though . . . )

They sure are ramping up the fake accusation from Hillary’s Campaign Manager. I guess the Marching Orders went out.
