Putin warns Americans: You're being distracted!

[RitaOK]

Hey, great post.

[dynachrome]

Very interesting.

I think he is right about hildabest and her crew will “create an enemy and unite the nation against it”. Russia is their choice at the moment. IOW vote for the diseased, corrupt, old skank so she can ‘protect’ us.

[SaveFerris]

One thing is for certain: Obama’s propagandized shock troops will probably revolt when Trump wins.

You can bet it will happen in a few cities. Further proving that Trump is indeed the law and order candidate.

Hillary is the rabble-rouser; just like her best bud.

[M Kehoe]

Bttt.

He comes at his points through logic. Of course being a former KGB guy and you can’t believe anything he says. But at least his public statements make sense. They make more sense than anything Hillary Clinton is saying. It is quite a contrast listening to Putin vs listening to Hillary and the junior varsity league people we have in the WH.

That was also my impression. Of course, he also lies through logic. Putin plays chess. And Hillary's trying to find a way into forcing him into overt action, with all the subtlety of a teenager throwing bricks through windows. He's just standing aside and noting that she's doing that.

But it doesn't mean he doesn't see her as dangerous - in international politics, it is highly insulting to say that you have absolutely no idea what someone will do, and he says that several times about us. It means either that he's inept (no), or that he sees us as out of control - and that's what he's saying about Hillary, specifically.

It also is what would be said if he wants to stay on red alert, to justify maximum firepower being ready at all times, because of Hillary's "unpredictability." Overall, I think he's pissed at her, and trying to warn us not to elect her.

[Robert DeLong]

So are we going to have WWIII between now and the election? With whom? Or did I miss a world war that already took place?

[Vince Ferrer]

There have been times in the last several years when the Russians have politely but sincerely warned us that we were taking a turn in the wrong direction. They weren't threatening us, or tying it specifically to something they wanted. I believe they were sincere.

One of the times I can remember them warning us was around the 2008 or 2012 elections, when they said that we were starting to go down a direction towards communism that they had escaped from, and they didn't want us to go down that path. Of course, we did, and the Russians have started to consider themselves, not us, as the beacon of freedom in the world.

This may be one of those sincere warnings.

[Ezekiel]

Granted that was some serious tinfoil.

No scenario is too absurd. In 2000, the shrieks of Bush stealing the election were so patently absurd and rife with projection, I seriously wondered if the overkill were on purpose, so as to make any future cries of massive (but very real) election fraud appear as scheming, lying, politically-motivated drama.

Then came 2008, 2012... 2016.

With tinfoil comes wisdom. :-/

[Talisker]

Thanks!

[Nothingburger]

Putin is a lot of things.

One thing he is not is an incompetent.

[A Navy Vet]

MORE RED BUTTONS! MORE RED BUTTONS! If only Kerry had a bigger RED BUTTON to push, all would be well with Russia.

Gotta say it again: That was the most childish gesture I've ever seen come from the US State Department. I was actually flabbergasted when I saw that photo-op. Really? A plastic button to show how Obama/Hillary is friends with Russia?

Through yours and Obama's policies, the Middle East is a bigger mess than ever. Yeah, the "Arab Spring" has worked so well. Sheesh.

And what do we have now, Madamn (as in whorehouse madamn) Secretary? We have an ex-KGB agent taking over Crimea and parts of Ukraine and now has designs on a port off Syria. Great job.

In 66 years I've never witnessed such naive actions by our top leadership. But then as many say, it was all by design of you socialist/marxist/muslim sympathizers. Gee, Alinsky was so brilliant. Not.

[Newton]

Well, think about it, despite his obvious political difference to what we ascribe to ( he’s a KGB trained Commie after all) He displays himself as a strong effective leader representing his country. Counter that with the a$$clown occupying the WH...... Sad to say, I have WAY MORE respect for Putin than the big eared moron(I have NO respect for him).

[BradyLS]

It’s because you know Putin has his country’s interest at heart, even if he stands to profit by it. The American Establishments sees this country as something that needs to be looted and for the middle-class to restock so they can keep on looting it.

[ETL]

Once again, it was the Soros-supported Obama administration that has been strengthening the Russians.

The O admin, not only handed Putin everything that he wanted on all-important missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal, which Putin loves and claims to have played a major role in, he (Obama) practically took apart our military. So don't fall for the smoke and mirrors BS coming from the Russians, or this administration. The facts speak for themselves...

Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs

February 29, 2008 :: News
MissileThreat.com

A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.

The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:

Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.

First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

Obama To Betray Missile Defense Secrets To Moscow

Investor's Business Daily ^ | January 9, 2012 | IBD staff

Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.

It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.

He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 - linchpin of our missile defense - might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.

Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.

The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology. ..."

"In his signing statement, Obama said he would treat these legal restrictions as 'non-binding' and that 'my administration will also interpret and implement section 1244 (sic) in a manner that does not interfere with the president's constitutional authority to conduct foreign affairs and avoids the undue disclosure of sensitive diplomatic communications.'

Betraying our secrets is easy for a president who betrayed allies Poland and the Czech Republic to placate Moscow.

Poland was to host ground-based interceptors such as those we've deployed in California and Alaska, with missile-tracking radar deployed in the Czech Republic.

Obama pulled the plug when Moscow objected. Never mind, he said, we have a better approach: a four-phase plan that calls for using three versions of the Navy's Standard SM-3 interceptor missile that forms the backbone of its Aegis missile-defense system.

The fourth phase consists of a missile still on the drawing board scheduled for deployment by 2020, a version of the SM-3 called the Block IIB. It would intercept hostile missiles in the "early intercept" phase before an enemy missile could release its warheads and decoys. The Russians want the SM-3's secrets, and Obama appears to be willing to turn them over.

The president wants to save the New Start Treaty, which the Russians have threatened to abandon if we try to fully implement President Reagan's dream of defeating a nuclear missile attack.

Russia has unilaterally asserted that any qualitative or quantitative improvement in U.S. missile defenses would be grounds for withdrawal from the treaty.

March 2012...

"Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:

Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space."

Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ..."

Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."

Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." That statement tells us much about the president's mindset.

The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration.

Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president's comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.

In addition, there is the phrase "on all these issues," implying more is at stake than just missile defense."

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

From the Oct 5, 2016 first VP debate...

“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.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/06/us/politics/vice-president-transcript.html

______________________________

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. ..."

Mike Pence on Clinton: ‘She Pressed the Button and Russia Invaded Ukraine’

by Michelle Moons
7 Oct 2016

Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Mike Pence tells voters in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania that a Trump-Pence administration would reverse the “weak and feckless” foreign policy of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

He also included details of the now Democratic presidential nominee’s failed “reset” with Russia.

After recognizing the men and women who have served in the U.S. military, Pence spoke of visiting the fields in Gettysburg with his daughter and laying a wreath where “the 27th of Indiana lost 40 percent of their soldiers in one charge up a small hill.”

“What we have inherited, is freedom,” said Pence who spoke of the “price of freedom.”

Pence, running mate to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, called Clinton the “architect of America’s foreign policy” as he said that the leadership of Clinton and President Barack Obama has, “weakened America’s place in the world.”

“History teaches that weakness arouses evil,” said Pence. “That the weak and feckless foreign policy of [former Secretary of State] Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has created an environment on the world stage, of an America leading from behind, of moving red lines in Syria.”

In August 2012 Obama set a red line for Syria. “We have been very clear to the Assad regime — but also to other players on the ground — that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized,” he said according to CNN. Assad crossed that line in 2012 and 2013 when Sarin gas was used to kill Syrians, including an August 2013 attack that killed 1,400 according to Bloomberg. Obama had promised airstrikes, but didn’t follow through.

Pence continued in his speech to the Pennsylvania crowd, “Hillary Clinton actually said that the number one priority during her tenure as Secretary of State was the reset with Russia.”

“She posed for a picture, she pressed the button and Russia invaded Ukraine,” said Pence. “And Russia has inserted itself along the brutal regime in Syria. As we stand here today threatens to bring its incredible violence against defenseless civilians in Aleppo.”

Pence talked about the Obama and Clinton decision to withdraw all combat forces from Operation Iraqi Freedom forces and the resulting “vacuum after 2012 in which the terrorist organization ISIS was able literally to be conjured up out of the desert sands and overrun vast areas of Iran.”

He criticized Clinton for her part in the nuclear deal with Iran, of which Pence said, “all we did was delay their nuclear ambitions.”

He spoke of Clinton’s State Department under which four Americans died during a terrorist attack on Americans in Benghazi, Libya. He criticized Clinton for telling the families of the fallen that a video was to blame, but emails sent before she spoke with the families revealed that she knew it was terrorist attack virtually from the beginning.

Yushchenko, hero of Ukraine's Orange Revolution warns Europe that Putin won't stop at Crimea

Pence is taking the side of the Ukraine Nazis, STUPID! SHUT UP, PENCE!

And in Syria, what does he want - the “rebels” aka AQ etc to win? SHUT UP PENCE!

[Lady Heron]

The fact that the leadership is telling him things will go back to normal after the election, just wait, you are the boogey man this election to scare voters into a patriotic fever behind dems and hide their malpractice, says it all.

The fact they chose Russia to be the boogey man just shows their stupidity. WHO WANTS WAR WITH RUSSIA in their right mind???? They did it to get the older generation who do vote to go back to their cold war way of thinking.....but everyone who lived in the cold war days never wants to go back to that! We have no interest in Syria, and we spy on everyone....what is the point of this in the American people's eyes, why would we want to get nuked and lose our lives for Syria or to hide dems misconduct. This has been a huge flop and American's are not getting on the war bandwagon. Everyone thinks this is the stupidest, mot dangerous talk they have every heard that I have talked to.
