"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.

Another “red line” ?

I wonder if POTUS neglected to attend the NSA briefing regarding this supposed hack. I read that the CIA had his ear but the NSA and 17 other intelligence entities disagree with the CIA summary.

“They are fighting an imaginary war against C02”

That CO2 in the atmosphere might as we speak be keeping us from freezing to death.

any orders little stampy foot gives should be ignored

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

I'm concerned that Obama has appointed enough butt kissers, sexual deviates, and closet muslims in the military to carry out any stupid order he may utter.

exactly. making the claim that Putin wanted someone that all Libs told us was dangerous to whirrled peas elected instead of Obamas 3rd term, Clinton, is as laughable as it gets.

I'd be surprised. He warned Syria against using chemical weapons long ago and promised tough action if they did. Well, nothing happened. Obama promises tough action but never carries out anything. The golf courses and fund raisers take too much time to govern.

Yup. Obamster might start biting his nails.

[ari-freedom]

I’m thinking he’s arranged some rogue black ops CIA operation to arm the rebels/isis. They’d shoot down russian jets for us so we don’t have to

Or maybe I read too many Tom Clancy novels

Memory of Robert Conrad and the battery commercial.

:: Gotta admit, he makes me just a wee bit nervous ::

You left off the second ‘wee’ in that statement.

As someone posted up-thread, Putin will place a call to Trump to discuss the issue.

[arthurus]

He only has a month left to start a real War. Can he do it?

[Hotlanta Mike]

Another red line from the narcissist in chief? Putin already handed him his ass...

[Hotlanta Mike]

If you listened to Sheriff Joe yesterday the man is a felon and should be escorted from the White House to the Big House...

[kabar]

At this point, we don’t want him to do squat. Let Trump handle it once he is in office. Trump should not inherit an ongoing hot cyberwar with Russia. We don’t have all the facts.

[datricker]

I hope every week for a spell cut dumps evidence of Obama admin shenanigans to step on his legacy and shut him up

[Hotlanta Mike]

Obama meddled in the Israeli elections to oust Netanyahu...

[Hotlanta Mike]

Trump needs to appoint a special investigator regarding Obama’s forged birth documents and selective service form...
