Hillary is insane, going to war over hacking. She knows damn well the the USA is doing the same to friends and foe. She would blow up the world over clowns like this working out of Mom's basement for a Gov. paycheck.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party presidential nominee and former US secretary of state, has said that if she becomes president cyberattacks against US interests will be treated "like any other attack" – and that includes military action.
The candidate, who has been investigated by the FBI over use of a private email server to store classified material, was speaking on the campaign trial at the American Legion National Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio on 31 August.
As President, I will make it clear that the United States will treat cyberattacks just like any other attack. We will be ready with serious political, economic, and military responses," she told the attendees, largely made up of veterans and their supporters.
"We are going to invest in protecting our governmental networks and our national infrastructure," she continued. "I want us to lead the world in setting the rules in cyberspace. If America doesn't, others will."
The speech made a number of references to the rise in cybercrime – and the various rival nation states that Clinton asserted are currently attacking the US. Most recently, Kremlin-linked hackers were suspected of hacking into the computer networks of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
"We need to respond to evolving threats from states like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea," Clinton said in the speech. "We need a military that is ready and agile so it can meet the full range of threats and operate on short notice across every domain – not just land, sea, air and space but also cyberspace.
"You've seen reports. Russia's hacked into a lot of things, China has hacked into a lot of things. Russia even hacked into the Democratic National Committee, maybe even some state election systems. So we have got to step up our game. Make sure we are well defended and able to take the fight to those who go after us."
As tensions between superpowers continues to escalate over cybercrime and cyber-espionage, US officials have remained uncertain about how to classify these security incidents – especially when a major computer infiltration crossed the line into an 'act of war'.
“I am no fan of Putin, but they are making him into a bogey man.”
Defintion: “a person, real or imaginary used as a threat”
Putin is a threat.
In other words.... drone strikes against the embassy where Assange is living
aww jeez, why don’t we make internet only for our country, no links, the world can call
She really does have a Jezebel Spirit.
Explain to me why and how he is a threat to the US. Not Ukraine. But the US.
W need to return to the days when we did not walk around looking at everything like a nail.
She is trying to ward off an email dump taken from her private server.
That is such a classic “living in Mom’s basement” picture. Based on the gear surrounding our “geek loser”, I would date this photo to the mid 1990s and I think I can faintly hear a Smashing Pumpkins album in the background. Or is it Cranberries?
I wonder if this photo is staged or if it is for real.
IIRC, Obama attacked Merkel's private phone....and the President of Brazil's network...and apologized for both....cuz we got caught!! And I'll bet condoning our attacks are in her emails,.
Come to think of it, probably early 1990s. Is that a dot matrix printer in the lower left? I wonder if he has Leisure Suit Larry running on a 5 1/4 floppy.
Warmonger!
Good grief, her banker overlords really want that war...
For Republicans, their enemies are outside of the U.S. and pose threats to the country.
For Democrats, their enemies are inside the U.S. and pose threats to themselves personally.
Hillary has taken it to a new level. Her enemies now include people both inside and outside the U.S. who pose threats to her personally.
Holy crikey. This woman is insane.
WHAT?
The political party she belongs to is a "governmental network?"
WHAT?
Your house is the target, First Amendment of the Constitution is the problem, your PC is the weapon that must be destroyed!
are not the russian and chinese cyber attacks retaliation?
“Rather that call her “Crooked” Hillary, Trump should start calling her “Unstable” Hillary. She is obviously mentally unstable.”
Excellent suggestion.
That’s bound to be more effective, since few seem to care about her unscrupulous ways so far.
“this from the woman who says Donald Trump is reckless.”
Precisely, and this should be pointed out publicly.
Hillary Clinton ... the perfect definition of Ozzy Osborne’s Black Sabbath recording “War Pigs”.
