NBC News ^ | 10/14/2016 | WILLIAM M. ARKIN, KEN DILANIAN and ROBERT WINDREM

All I can see is Bugs Bunny (Russians) plugging Elmer Fudd’s (Obama’s) shot gun with a carrot.

Geez, does anyone think they won’t see this coming?

Why do the Russians need their own intelligence agency, when they have our MSM?

Why are the Democrats so hot to go to war with Russia?

a) Short term political advantage.
b)Reduced population.
c) War profits.
d) Great excuse for more government controls on the people.

What good will this do other than to have Russia retaliate against our own computer networks?

This is cover for the Hillary campaign which is trying to divert the narrative from her misdeeds now being uncovered by these leaked emails. The amusing thing is that the Russians almost certainly have the “deleted” emails and this empty threat might actually cause them to release what they have.

The Hillary campaign internals must be at an unrecoverably low level.

To effectively declare war on Russia, with no evidence or authorization from Congress? They’ll probably give Obama another Nobel Peace Prize. Of course it’ll be glowing with rads, but what the hell.
