Barack Obama Says US Will Retaliate Against Russian Hacking
NDTV ^ | 12/16/2016 | VARIOUS

Posted on 12/16/2016 9:00:14 AM PST by UnChained

Barack Obama on Thursday said the United States would retaliate against Russian hacking after the White House accused Vladimir Putin of direct involvement in cyberattacks designed to influence the US election.

The outgoing US president's remarks dramatically upped the stakes in a dispute between the world's leading nuclear powers over interference that may have swayed last month's tight election in which Republican billionaire Donald Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Obama will either pen a strongly worded letter or draw a red pink line.

Aside from the fact that this whole hacking story is bogus, what does Obama mean by “the US will retaliate”?

It means he is going to f**k up the situation in Syria or some other tinderbox even more. F***ing things up is Obama's forte.

They have until the inauguration to somehow parlay this “Russians did it” slapstick into...what...We’re holding the election again? We have a Constitutional crisis and need martial law? We’re going to stir up BLM and the Sons of Hippie into civil war?

This is a psychotic episode that is basically a gun barrel in the mouth for Democrats, the zombie corpse that will not die. You got until inauguration day and then watch what happens to your bootlicks in the FBI, CIA and the rest of the “17 intelligence agencies”. Yah, you got it, Zombiecrat, their new department heads will instigate such a house cleaning, such a swamp draining that your only recourse will be to go utterly bat sh!t bull goose loony for every cell phone and handicam in the country, lighting up the YouTube servers like a Las Vegas strip UFO convention.

They had better just hope he doesn’t draw a red line.

My take is that he either does nothing or he starts WWIII.

I’m hoping for the latter.

I almost choked on my lunch looking at that political cartoon.

That’s probably not far from reality either.

YOu want him to start WWIII? Or did you mean "former" rather than "latter"?

HAHAHAHA! This brought to mind a certain Cleavon Little scene in Blazing Saddles.

Note to Obama: You can’t pull it off.

Back when Republicans were concerned voting machines were defaulting to “Democrat” or changing votes to D, CNN said hacking wasn’t possible - but Obama had rapid response teams to act if they suspected Republicans were manipulating the election or intimidating voters.

No, the presidential election can’t be hacked

Perhaps Obama is threatening to call Putin a “pu$$y”, maybe.

Obama means that the US will retaliate against Russia by undoing the election result that they “orchestrated”.

Why is no one discussing this possibility? Am I ignorant of some basic fact of civics that protects us from this happening? I fear that between now and the inauguration, our country is facing a grave peril.

In a civil war, the US military led by all the Obama loyalists at the top would win...
