Obama vows action against Russia over election hacks
BBC World News ^ | 15 December 2016 | BBC

"We need to take action and we will," he told US radio station NPR.

Russia stands accused by the US of hacking the emails of the Democratic Party and a key Hillary Clinton aide, which the Kremlin strongly denies.

Republican president-elect Donald Trump has also dismissed the claim as "ridiculous" and politically motivated.

Waiting for someone in Congress to warn him that he needs to inform Congress, and prove the Russians’ “hacking”, before he takes any provocative “action”...

During her campaign, Hillary said that she would take “every step necessary” against Russia for cyberattacks, including militarily.

It looks like Obama is picking up this theme, using the imagined hacking of the election as justification.

I remember that during the campaign, Trump said something complimentary about Putin, and the Dems tried to spin that into “proof” that Trump was colluding with Russia. They went so far as to have an investigation. No doubt, they were certain that they would find proof that Trump actually is colluding with Russia and they would have their October surprise. However, to their disappointment, the investigation turned out to be nothing more than a misuse of government resources for partisan purposes. But now, they keep bringing up Russia over and over, trying desperately to tie Trump to Russia and repeating that Russia is bad.

I am worried with all of this belligerent anti-Russia rhetoric by the Dems (regardless of how hard they try to tie Trump to it). Will Obama launch a military strike against Russia in his last few days?

What would be the consequences if my friends in Egypt produced the phone records of Obama’s involvement in the stolen election that Obama bought to put Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in power? Those records do exist.

Records of the involvement of Obama with formation of ISIS do exist. When Obozo is gone, and the Republicans in DC have total control of all 3 branches, why should it not be produced and used to show the world?

Oh, forgot. Some of the GOPe would be exposed too.

As far as I can see...Obama is interfering in the election. What a pain in the a** he is. If he dropped croaked, wouldn’t make me sad one bit.

Looks to me like there’s only one right way to settle it.

Barry and Vlad, both suited up and ready, in the gymnasium at Southeast High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. On the mat.

12:00 noon tomorrow.

I’ll be seated on the visitors side.

He does not “want” war. He wants the fruits of victory without having to fight it. Threats, intimidation, and sabre rattlin’ will do the trick. Then..uh oh!

This is another front in the “petro-dollar wars”, I suspect. Russia is an enemy because they have been settling oil contracts in currencies other than the dollar, which threatens our whole debt-money welfare state.

I am very interested in this subject because my dear son, 28, does not agree with the premise. If this idea can be either debunked or defended and clarified by someone on this forum I would be deeply grateful.

Obama will not take action against Russia. He knows there is no evidence and that is why he carefully phrased his response to refer to “any foreign” power. He was making a general bland statement.

I thought this sounded familiar. The Regime was going on about attacking Russia back before the election...

From the NYTimes, Oct 15, 2016... Biden Hints at U.S. Response to Russia for Cyberattacks

The bottom line is the Obama Regime will continue to bluster, but they know they can't retaliate against Russia because Russia didn't hack the U.S. election in the first place. However, Russia probably knows damn well who did drop a dime on the DNC (and it's likely an insider), and if the U.S. were to cyberattack Russia, Russia just might reveal who actually did expose the DNC, which would likely be embarrassing to the Dems.

Why doesn’t Putin have a press conference and tell everyone this is total BS. Most of America would believe him over our media anyway.

One question is, 'how will our military respond if given an order by Obama to attack Russia or it's interests'...

These people are desperate...Seems they will do 'anything' to keep Trump out of office...

Obama is treading on the verge of disaster. He’s been carried so long and gotten away with so much that he really thinks he has a brain. Russia will dismiss and laugh at him and if necessary hand him his ass.
