I honestly think Obama wants to wag the dog and would love to goad Russia into disrupting our online communications [or say that he needed to shut off the internet for security reasons — if there’s still a ‘kill switch’]
But here’s the problem — if Obama’s advisors get too critical of his tacit reasoning he would need to back down or risk being removed by his own cabinet.
His cabinet would tolerate a lot of dirty tricks, but everyone has a personal breaking point, often due to fear of others’ perception.
If a demon from hell were on his cabinet for example [and could not read minds], the demon would wonder how much the US military and federal law endorcement’s rank-and-file would put up with.
The good news is that the current occupant of our White House is not Satan himself. We'll have to face that adversary later. Satan would be just as evil but far more intelligent and more energetic than Barack Hussein - a frightening combination.
