WHY VLADIMIR PUTIN’S RUSSIA IS BACKING DONALD TRUMP
Newsweek ^ | 11/4/2016 | KURT EICHENWALD

Posted on 11/04/2016 7:11:12 AM PDT by ObozoMustGo2012

In phone calls, meetings and cables, America’s European allies have expressed alarm to one another about Donald Trump’s public statements denying Moscow’s role in cyberattacks designed to interfere with the U.S. election. They fear the Republican nominee for president has emboldened the Kremlin in its unprecedented cybercampaign to disrupt elections in multiple countries in hopes of weakening Western alliances, according to intelligence, law enforcement and other government officials in the United States and Europe.

While American intelligence officers have privately briefed Trump about Russia’s attempts to influence the U.S. election, he has publicly dismissed that information as unreliable, instead saying this hacking of incredible sophistication and technical complexity could have been done by some 400-pound “guy sitting on their bed” or even a child.

This crap, false-flag arson attacks on black churches, and siccing ISIS on white people going to vote: it’s all the Democrats have left to throw at us.

It IS a plot, by both Russia and the Obama-Hillary camp, to try to get HER elected president. Putin doesn’t want someone who will rebuild the US military, as Trump and Pence continually make clear. He wants someone who will continue trying to weaken it. Hillary has never once said anything about restoring our miltary strength. It’s as simple as putting two and two together, despite the wag the dog BS talk going on between Putin and the Obama-Hillary camp.

I hope this is all true. All we can do is vote and keep her from office and then dismantle her and her perp family. An indictment would be super right about now.

Exactly! People here need to read and learn about the Uranium One deal between the Clinton team and Putin, where the Russians end up with something like HALF of our uranium production!

[Two words make this worthless: URANIUM ONE!]

I agree, but IMO, it’s a little late in the game for Trump to mention that, esp if he needs to use it as defense against this talking point.

The time to bring it up was at the debate where HRC was trying to pin Trump as Putin’s puppet.

I don’t think this hit piece is going to sway the fence sitters. This is just to get the base Democratic voters to just show up on Tuesday.

One does not need to endorse everything that contemporary Russia is doing, to recognize that Putin & Russia have bucked the trend in other European nations, which have systematically turned their backs on their respective heritages, in order to promote the humanist insanity of New World Order pursuits. Russia has rediscovered her Faith & Pride in developing on the platform of an ancient heritage.

In this Russia would like--obviously--to find encouragement in her inward rediscovery, rather than hostility, from outside.

To understand what has been done to enlist American PC loons in the destruction of ethnic (national) cultural heritages, you need to go back at least to the middle of the last century, and consider what we have termed Surrender By Subterfuge. You will see the effect of this everywhere you look in the Obama/Clinton sub-culture. It is a swamp not only of corruption in people for sale; it is a swamp of a sick--very sick--culture of betrayal of the Americans as a people.

Agree. What total BS. All because Trump said a few times that he respected Putin? Nice try Dems.

Exactly my thoughts. Suddenly Russia is the enemy, and was so 60 days out to the election. Before that all the talk was about a re set of relations.

I’d vote for Putin over Clinton. Less corrupt.

I totally agree, and don’t doubt for a minute that compared to The Screecher, Putie is an amateur.

Just do a search for it and post. The NY Times, back in April of last year, perhaps before Hil was a definite candidate?, had a lengthy piece on it. I dont have easy internet access at this timr.

Yes, that Apr 2015 NY Times article would be a good starting point for info on the Clinton-Putin Uranium One scandal. For more recent updates, try FreeBeacon and various other pro-American sites.
