This would be the stupidest, most idiotic action this administration has taken. This would top it all.

The US is a target rich in a cyber war. If this happens I just hope Putin's counter attack focuses on the leadership and its propaganda arms and leaves the rest of us alone.

Speaking of alone. If the US goes ahead with this, it does so without a single ally. No one else is stupid enough to risk a cyber war, a this point, with Russia.

Obama & Podesta's election year "wag the dog" operation to codify in people's minds that Wikileaks was all Putin's doing.

If the world is reduced to ash, they couldn't care less.

Dear Vlad, please hold your fire for at least another month. In the mean time if Bojangles messes with your Internet feel free to take out our TV networks.

Take just a second to consider the consequences of our own operatives taking down the internet and electrical grid then blaming the Russians:

1. the extraction of and distribution to the American public of democrat scandals stops immediately

2. Borders stay open

3. people clamor for the help of the government and social services

4. People Wave the flag and hate the dastardly Russians more

all four of those things Advance the interests of who..? Hmmmm..?

People keep asking rhetorically, “why the hell would our government announced a Cyber attack against Russia..?”

There is a simple answer to that:

so that the last prominent thing you heard before the net went down and light ent out was of The Scaaary Cyber War.

so you and all of us would blame the Russians.

it makes sense.

I would suggest backing up IP addresses of your most important sites.

Can you imagine what would happen if the “Russians” took down DNS just a couple weeks out from the election?

My, oh my! You’d be stuck with only traditional media, who would of course fill the bandwidth with 24x7 coverage of the ongoing Cyber war. It would completely silence those untruthy alternative sites, just as Obama said we need.

It is meant as another distraction, and a major one, away from Wikileas, to give Hillary talking points with which to smear Trump, since she has been trying to set up the narrative that Trump is colluding with Putin. However, she does run the risk of exposing the fact that the Russians could have also hacked her private server, and probably did, along with all the other major nations. And it risks giving Americans the idea the Wikileaks are entirely true.

Hard to figure out what is really going on here.

Why is Obama publicly threatening cyber war against Russia. If he wanted to wage a successful cyber war against Russia, he wouldn’t threaten it publicly.

Why is the reason being broadcast for this threat that Russia is interfering with an American election, i.e. Russia is making cankles look bad (if they were the ones behind the wikileaks releases)? Is the US public okay with going to war with Russia because Obama’s favorite candidate was embarrassed?

There’s something else at play.

Sounds like Obama's Jihad in the making.

Hillary twitter yesterday:
"When the president gives the order to launch a nuclear weapon, that’s it. The officer has to launch. It can take as little as four minutes"
