Vladimir Putin: Why He Fears A Hillary Clinton White House
Newsweek ^ | November 3, 2016 | By Leah McGrath Goodman

Posted on 11/03/2016 6:30:09 AM PDT by Strategy

On June 4, 2013, at the verdant plantation-style Inn at Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina, Hillary Clinton spoke in strikingly ambitious terms of her plans for America's energy boom to a private audience in a speech for the global investment bank Goldman Sachs. "The energy revolution in the Untited States is just a gift," she said in one of three speeches that year for which the bank paid her $675,000. "We can have a North American energy system that will be unbelievably powerful. If we have enough of it, we can be exporting and supporting a lot of our friends and allies."

Clinton meant exporting oil and gas to allies who are heavily reliant on Russian imports. The Democratic nominee's private positions on energy, as indicated in speeches released by Wikileaks in October, suggest how she might use America's oil and gas industry as a bludgeon against Moscow. While her campaign declined to comment for this story, her speeches also made it clear that Clinton wants the U.S. to lead an environmentally friendly energy revolution to tackle climate change.

Putin must be in wonderment how Newsweek can be such a propaganda vehicle for HRC without the government having to own it.

“It’s simple. Putin doesn’t want war with the US and he knows Hillary Clinton means war with the US.”

BINGO!

I thought newspeak went out of business.

More than once I think. But it seems to keep rising from the dead.

...and he knows Hillary Clinton means war with the US.

Unless he makes a sizeable contribution to the Clinton Foundation.

“Hillary is belligerent and would get us into a world war;
it is what Democrats do.” - (CodeToad quote)

EXACTLY! They muddle into wars and escalate them; then,
finally when a Republican is elected, they immediately
atart bashing the Republicans for not fixing things
immediately.

I know JFK is revered by a lot of people; but he sent our
people into Vietnam initially and we all know how that went.
The Democrats finally managed to snatch DEFEAT from the
jaws of victory after thousands of Americans died in the
years of that prolonged boondoggle.

I agree...Putin doesn’t fear anyone. Especially not her.

A desirable quality in a leader actually.

Sort of reminds me of somebody...

“The energy revolution in the Untited States is just a gift,”


Maybe a gift to you, hag, but it didn’t fall out of the sky. Thousands of companies and hundreds of thousands of people were involved, at incredible expense over decades, and they did it in SPITE of anti-growth enviro-freaks like you putting up every roadblock that you could think of. So FUHRC!

As for Putin fearing the US under Clinton for its energy production, arguably he would fear a Trump Presidency FAR MORE on the same basis - Trump will give the go-ahead for every pipeline imaginable, for leases of government land and sea-based properties (think what the Green River shale formation will unleash onto the world markets - it produces about 50,000 bbl./day from the 2% that isn’t under federal land).

So, this is yet another BS story, a puff-piece for Hillary by the captured media. IOW, ignore it or, better yet, assume that whatever they say is the diametric opposite of the truth, and act accordingly.

Nobody goes to Clinton rallies. Perhaps if she charged a couple of hundred thousand for admission more people would go. Her “no-fly” zones in Syria mean war with Russia. Maybe we will be at war before that. Biden has announced a covert (don’t tell anybody) cyber attack of Russia. Those intel people (if they actually exit) are simply mouthpieces for the Obama administration.

I believe Putin would prefer Trump for the same reason the Soviet leadership preferred dealing with Reagan over Carter.

Reagan was a tough negotiator, but his word was good and you knew where you stood. Carter was inconsistent and vacillating.

Look, I think Putin might prefer Trump only because he thinks he needs a partner to destroy radical Islam.

Plus the fact that nobody likes having to deal with a liar, thief and general all around crook.

Fear her?
More like he is aware of her instability, incompetence, and her delusional fellow travelers.
