President Barack Obama reportedly told Russian President Vladimir Putin in October that directly interfering with the U.S. election could result in an "armed conflict."

According to NBC News, Obama opted to use the red phone to contact Moscow directly, a communication system that dates back to the Cold War. It's not an actual telephone, but instead sends a secure email message between the two countries.

"International law, including the law for armed conflict, applies to actions in cyberspace," part of the Oct. 31 message read, according to NBC. "We will hold Russia to those standards."

China good, Russia evil. I'd like to see how Clinton Foundation donations from China stack up against those from Russia.

How does anyone know what the communication said unless TS info has been compromised?

[HarleyLady27]

ROFL!!! Yep that’s the one...thanks Liz!!!

[Martin Tell]

I thought all these Russian Hacking stories had disappeared after the Electoral College voted.

[Mariner]

After 16 years of Bush and Obama, Neoconservative dominate all US security and spy services.

And they are not happy with the election of Trump, Nationalism or the prospect of detente with Russia.

They will absolutely feed dis and misinformation into the system to create as much havoc as possible...and from their perspective, WAR.

[meyer]

I have a funny feeling that if Obama tried to launch a military action against Russian interests based on this, that the military would stand down. They know what’s going on.

[HamiltonJay]

HAHAHAH THE WUSSY WHO COULDN’T MAKE THE CALL TO TAKE OUT BIN LADEN WAS THREATENING OPEN WARFARE WITH PUTIN????

BWAHAHAHAHA... Jeebus they can’t help but make fake news

[Flick Lives]

According to NBC News, Obama opted to use the red phone to contact Moscow directly, a communication system that dates back to the Cold War. It's not an actual telephone, but instead sends a secure email message between the two countries.

The bad news is the email is hosted on Clinton's email server.

[atc23]

Fake news. Agree. NEVER HAPPENED

[silverleaf]

on October 18, Obama calls Trump a whiner for suggesting that US elections could be rigged...

“There is no serious person out there who could even suggest that American elections could be rigged....because they are so decentralized”

Obama hasn’t got the stones to have said that.
