If they were, they wouldn't talk about it.

This is to really, really convince us that, I don't know, the Russians made up all those e-mails that make the Clintons look like gangsters.

I know! So instead of a covert operation it’ll now be an overt act of war.

Just the sort of thing that should be announced ahead of time. Or maybe it’s just a bluff to try and add some credibility to the Dims claims that Russia is responsible for all the hacking of the emails being leaked.

Barky wants to bend over to one more leader and take a nuke up the alley entrance.

He’s busy warning North Korea what may happen if he isn’t careful.

Doesn’t give a rat’s patute what happens to us if he isn’t careful.

These criminals running the FedMob now aren’t taking these actions in my name and I repudiate their treasonous asses in the strongest possible terms.

If they start a war with Russia for their foul political purposes they may find themselves in a crossfire.

I don not believe for One Second that the Russians are behind ANY OF THIS. Look to Patriots in the NSA,CIA,FBI,Military....Maybe even an Insider, for the Real Hero getting this Info out. But RUSSIA?? Not a Chance.

Even if these simple bastards were to cook up such a plan, they will fumble and fumble until we find ourselves in a nuclear war.

Hell, they don't even KNOW it was the Russians.

Speaking TRUTH during a Time of Universal Deceit, is a Revolutionary Act.

Now it appears WAR is Necessary to SILENCE TRUTH!

Way to Go Sambo!
