Putin: Maybe 'Jews' but not Kremlin meddled in US election
AFP via Yahoo News ^

Posted on 03/10/2018 12:53:00 PM PST by McGruff

President Vladimir Putin suggested in a US television interview that Ukrainians, Tatars or "Jews," could have meddled in the 2016 US presidential election -- but not the Kremlin.

"Why have you decided the Russian authorities, myself included, gave anybody permission to do this?" Putin asked in the often-combative interview with NBC television.

The leading US intelligence agencies concluded last year that Putin personally directed an intelligence effort to influence the 2016 US presidential election to undermine Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign and boost Republican Donald Trump

The title is a little misleading but an interesting article.

Last month US Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is conducting a widespread probe into Russia’s role in the campaign, indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies for allegedly backing Trump, maligning Clinton, and engaging in other election interference.

“So what if they’re Russians?” Putin said of the allegations, according to transcripts of the NBC interview released late Friday.

“There are 146 million Russians. So what?... I don’t care. I couldn’t care less... They do not represent the interests of the Russian state.”

Probably designed to get out a message to complement the scenario that Putin backs Iran and Iran must be dealt with in the name of Israel’s security.

In all honesty the Saudi $$$$ funding Al Qaeda jihadists (the same kind who admire Bin Laden and killed thousands on 9/11) works against Iran’s ally Assad in Syria.

Israel and Russia butt heads in Syria with conflicting interests.

The USA has done business with Saudi Arabia and Israel as key allies in the region.

There’s deeper truth to Syria than the jihadist “atrocity” “humanitarian crisis” propaganda the likes of Nikki Haley repeat with passion.

The title is intentionally misleading. It implies that Putin is singling out Jews.

I didn’t know myself so:

The Tatars are a Turkic people living mainly in Russia and other Post-Soviet countries. The name “Tatar” first appears in written form on the Kul Tigin monument

*Every* country meddled in our election.
I wonder if ‘Tatar’ means ‘China’. They meddled the most.

Israel has no doubt influenced our election, but given that Barack Obama really got elbow deep in THEIR elections a few years ago, I can’t say I blame them.

The number 2 Mexican Presidential candidate campaigned in Los Angeles yesterday and said his first order of business if elected was to fight Don Trump on immigration.

IN LOS ANGELES. A Mexican politician trolls for votes in AMERICA and promises to try and break down the American border so his citizens can flood in and take over.

Where’s Bob Mueller? Rex Tillerson? Rodney Rosenstein?

Nowhere to be found. Hystericizing about a country that’s 8500 miles away.

Ukrainians definitely did, including a whole gaggle of paid trolls all across the Internet, Tartars, well, they were pretty busy keeping the recruits for ISIS heading to Syria so not much if at all, and Jews? Well, if that includes Soros and a few of the better known Oligarchs who ran to avoid being prosecuted when Putin restored civil order in Russia, then yeah, Jews meddled, too.

One thing for damn sure, Putin knows how to troll almost as well as Trump. I bet they compare notes over a secure link the insiders trying to corral Trump can't keep him away from.

“Interesting” is not how I’d describe the article. More like infuriating (spittle spewn rant), inarticulate (spelling & punctuation reminiscent of the writings of a 12 year old), or incoherent (opposed thoughts in the same sentence). Yahoo articles in general have become jumping platforms for the far left hate-everything types.

How far they’ve fallen into the abyss . . .

Putin is playing to his base. The average Russian is virulently anti Semitic. They blame the Jews for the Bolshevik Revolution, regicide, the suffering, deaths and cultural destruction from 1917 thru 1993.They view Putin as a vibrant, strong leader who will do what is necessary to restore Russia. Now it should be understood that the average Russian , while not stupid , is woefully ignorant regarding history. Critical historic scholarship and the subsequent education in universities, colleges and secondary schools has not occurred in Russia for the last one hundred years. It is not surprising that the leader of that country could spout such brutal nonsense seemingly indifferent to the real harm such comments cause. Nor is it surprising that he will not be challenged or criticized in any meaningful manner within Russia. He will be rightly criticized in the US, Israel and most of the West. But it is critically important to understand the real attitudes of the Russian people. Such comments do not occur in a social or cultural vacuum.

They blame the Jews for the Bolshevik Revolution

Probably because it was overpopulated by Jews to begin with, similar to how Jews are overrepresented in Marxist think tanks and other groups in the United States, having written the majority--if not 100%--of the founding documents or working out the educational/sociological grounds for all this "white people are evil" and "tranny sex is good" stuff we see in the schools.

Denying it, or saying it's a conspiracy theory, doesn't help the Jews confront these uncomfortable facts.
