US prepped for massive cyber assault on Russia

If this electorate is moved by a bunch of doubtfully credible women from 10 years ago, then the nation is already lost. People who think this is important are fans of The Bachelorette. Shallow minded, not able to perceive the real threats today...jobs, foreign invasion, regulations, Supreme Court...etc. this BS being used by the Democrats is only effective on people who willfully swallow BS. And if they are in the majority, then Bill Ayres’ alteration if the education system brought down the government successfully.

[Will88]

A huge charade designed to divert and detract from the potential damage of the Wikileaks email releases.

My guess is that, unlike the US, Russia is thoroughly prepared for any such attack.

Further, their response will be devastating.

Obama scares no one, especially Putin.

[Gaffer]

Obama’s lackeys (and he) are about as clueless as Hillary was with that effing plastic “Reset Button” crap she pulled early in her SoS reign.

They bluster and blather, scheme and plot and they think they can use Russia as the Baba Yaga boogie man to get their way. They are writing checks that our military would be hard pressed to cash for them.

[Starboard]

I remember reading the Russian solution to “cyber attacks” was just to do everything with pen and paper.

************

That fits with the Russian Navy’s philosophy of keeping their systems simple. So they work when you need.

[RC one]

of course, and I’m sure Putin has those as well thanks to Clinton’s negligence. But I think he definitely wants her to win this election because he most definitely doesn’t want Donald Trump having the power to investigate him and her.

[MountainWalker]

You have to wonder, why all this saber rattling right before an election? What of our interests in Syria has changed in this timeframe? None that I can tell.

Even if they believe that Trump is somehow connected with Russia and Wikileaks, they should be thinking Hillary has a lead in the RCP average and the media has her covered with suppressive fire and will do so until the election is over. So, what gives?

It either means they are hyper-paranoid and don’t believe Hillary’s lead is durable or real, or they know what else Wikileaks has on her and have to lay the foundation for the lie of international election tampering before the bombshell(s) drop.

I suppose it could also be that they’re going to use it as a pretext to invalidate a possible Trump victory and hold onto power. I would think/hope that would have to be a long shot as if would effectively mean Ft. Sumpter II, but really, it probably wouldn’t last that long before POTUS was arrested or killed.

[HollyB]

Why would they announce it?

[vladimir998]

When you have to shoot...Shoot! Don’t talk!

If it looks like Trump is going to win, I wouldn't’t put anything past these desperate fanatics. They will do anything to stop him. Even start a war.

Many may die trying to prevent a Trump presidency. We are talking trillions of $$$$ and Global dominance by the world cartels.

[HollyB]

On the level of Dora the Explorer.

[PLMerite]

It is a good head fake.

[MustKnowHistory]

So let me see if I got this: Hillary’s emails were hacked, allegedly by the Russians. The emails were held on an unsecured server in the basement on Hill’s New York Home. And it is an election year. And for this, Obama is willing to risk WWIII?

The Marx Brothers would be envious of this plot.

[Starboard]

Putin has been testing us with his close encounters and harassment of our planes and ships for the past year or two. He’s probably been taking careful notes and studying our vulnerabilities while Obama has been preoccupied on the campaign trail.

I think Putin has prepared a range of responses that extend well beyond Syria’s borders. Just my view.

[HollyB]

The woman from the plane was from 30 years ago!. A fellow passenger said he saw it and the rolls were reversed.

[realcleanguy]

“We’re sending a message”. What is that message? That the US is prepared to go full nuclear against Russia? That the US is willing to sacrifice 100 million Americans in the slaughter in order to kill 400 million Russians? That the WH is willing to plunge the world into a Nuclear Winter just to satisfy its ego? That the Democrats have removed themselves from reality in order to put party over the worlds population in order to win an election? With the Temple Mount being taken away from the Jews and given to the Anti-Christ religion, Obama about to nuke Russia, and Russia getting ready to move their military into the Middle East, while Russia prepares their nation for a Nuclear War with the US, one can only see the Final Conflict coming, and the Tribulation upon us. Obama clearly is a messenger of Satan, and he is about to unleash hell on earth. I thought we had more time. I was wrong

[OneHun]

"...war against Russia in response to the country’s alleged interference with the presidential election."

So, the Clintons and the DemonRats are planting the seeds to discredit Trump when he wins the election.

Here's Trump's VP, Mike Pence, on the issue of Obama, Syria and Russia...

From the recent (first) VP debate, on Oct 5, 2016:

“When Donald Trump and I observe that, as I’ve said, in Syria, in Iran, in Ukraine, that the small and bullying leader of Russia has been stronger on the world stage than this administration, that’s stating painful facts. That’s not an endorsement of Vladimir Putin — that’s an indictment of the weak and feckless leadership of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.”

______________________________

Also from the Oct 5, 2016 first VP debate...

QUIJANO (Moderator): I want to turn now to Syria. Two hundred fifty thousand people, 100,000 of them children, are under siege in Aleppo, Syria. Bunker buster bombs, cluster munitions, and incendiary weapons are being dropped on them by Russian and Syrian militaries. Does the U.S. have a responsibility to protect civilians and prevent mass casualties on this scale, Governor Pence?

PENCE: The United States of America needs to begin to exercise strong leadership to protect the vulnerable citizens and over 100,000 children in Aleppo. Hillary Clinton’s top priority when she became secretary of state was the Russian reset, the Russians reset.

After the Russian reset, the Russians invaded Ukraine and took over Crimea.

And the small and bullying leader of Russia is now dictating terms to the United States to the point where all the United States of America — the greatest nation on Earth — just withdraws from talks about a cease-fire while Vladimir Putin puts a missile defense system in Syria while he marshals the forces and begins — look, we have got to begin to lean into this with strong, broad-shouldered American leadership.

It begins by rebuilding our military. And the Russians and the Chinese have been making enormous investments in the military. We have the smallest Navy since 1916. We have the lowest number of troops since the end of the Second World War. We’ve got to work with Congress, and Donald Trump will, to rebuild our military and project American strength in the world.

But about Aleppo and about Syria, I truly do believe that what America ought to do right now is immediately establish safe zones, so that families and vulnerable families with children can move out of those areas, work with our Arab partners, real time, right now, to make that happen.

And secondly, I just have to tell you that the provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength. And if Russia chooses to be involved and continue, I should say, to be involved in this barbaric attack on civilians in Aleppo, the United States of America should be prepared to use military force to strike military targets of the Assad regime to prevent them from this humanitarian crisis that is taking place in Aleppo.

There’s a broad range of other things that we ought to do, as well. We ought to deploy a missile defense shield to the Czech Republic and Poland which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama pulled back on out of not wanting to offend the Russians back in 2009.

QUIJANO: Governor, your two minutes are up.

PENCE: We’ve just got to have American strength on the world stage. When Donald Trump becomes president of the United States, the Russians and other countries in the world will know they’re dealing with a strong American president.

______________________________

And...

PENCE: What we’re dealing with is the — you know, there’s an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.

And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.

And all the while, all we do is fold our arms and say we’re not having talks anymore.

To answer your question, we just need American strength. We need to — we need to marshal the resources of our allies in the region, and in the immediate, we need to act and act now to get people out of harm’s way.

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch' on Ukraine

Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."
